Question

Cindy and Victor are playing a math game. The winner must get three in a row of the same type of real number and justify how the numbers are alike. Cindy said she won because she was able to get three rational numbers on a diagonal. Victor said he won with three positive numbers in a column.

A. Can both players say they won, for different reasons? Explain.
