Question

In the game kazoo teams lose one point each time they skip a turn they earn a point each time there team guesses correctly.

Maria’s team skipped 8 turns they guessed 6 correctly

What was Maria’s teams score

Answer 1

Given that the team starts with a score of 0, after skipping 8 turns they would have 8 points deducted and thus end up with a score of -8. Now if they guess 6 answers correctly this would add 6 points to their score and so they would end up with -8 + 6 = -2 points.

Answer 2

So -1(8) is -8
And 1(6) is 6

-8+6 is -2

Their total points is -2
