Assuming that on winning 2 points are awarded and on draw 1 point is shared among the 2 teams the Riders should have 3 points. Because there are only 10 (5C2) possible team match ups {Each team faces each other only once} and 20 points in total that can be shared.
So Riders score = 20 - (6 + 5 + 4 + 2) = 3

Anya is a clever trader of rare artifacts. Each day she carries three boxes with each filled with thirty artifacts. The boxes cant hold more than that. She travels far of northern lands to sell these artifacts but on way, she comes across thirty checkpoints where she has to shed one of the artifact for each sack to the authorities for letting her pass.

How many artifacts will be left with her when she reaches her destination crossing all the check points ?

Many of you don't know this, but as a young man, Man once decided to worship the moon. He was so obsessed by the moon that he once decided to start following it. So at any given moment, he would check where the moon is and then walk in that direction. Greg has special powers so that he can see the moon always, even when it's "beneath the earth". Also, Man can walk with a constant speed (much less than the moon of course) without ever resting. He can also walk over water, etc.

So tell me Where did man end up?
