I am half way there. I know what the score is. Just have to figure out who wins.

ED30:

are you _sure_ about the score between pakistan and poland?

i think i got it but there's a problem with that one score. if not, then i need to keep thinking.

thanks

 

[Customb]

Trinidad 0 - Turkey 1

My logic. The score comes from how many letters in a row they have in common starting at the left. Therefor we know the score has to be 0 and 1. Now the hard part was figuring out a common logic on the winner.

 

[Sharpy]

There is no score as Trinidad and Turkey are never in the same pool.

Customb is the closest so far, but nobody has given me what I asked for yet.

 

[WebMomentum]

Trinidad 1 - Turkey 0

 

[WebMomentum]

My reason -
the score is 1 to 0 because:
The game score comes from how many letters the two country names have in common in their name starting from the left

and to determine who won:
"r" (tRinidad) is alphabetically ranked higher than "u" (tUrkey)

Trinidad 0 - Turkey 2 -- Two letters in common with Trinidad

Sorry WebHold that's wrong - think again.
