Bart and Lisa Go Head-to-Head
This is a very quick test of your ability to make sense of some fairly simple data.
Every year Summerfield Junior High awards a prize to the member of its quiz team
who has the highest average score over a series of games against rival schools Winterfield
High and Springpark High. This year Bart and Lisa are Summerfield's highest
scoring quiz team members. Your job is to work out as quickly and efficiently
as you can which of the two should be awarded the prize.
Here's some sample data:

Hopefully you find this very easy. Bart has a higher average against both schools
and a higher overall average (he's played 200 games wth an average score of
10, Lisa has played 200 games with an average score of 1). So Bart wins the prize.
That's all you have to be able to work out (though obviously the data is going
to be a little more challenging). To begin, press the button below, which will reveal
the data and start the timer. (Then once you've worked out whether Bart or Lisa
has the highest overall score, make your selction, and press Submit.)
