I'm recusing myself because I read over the questions without answering
them, and then later saw a list of the answers to the above question in
the newspaper.
 
However, I do wonder about the above question. Assuming this quiz was
meant to be posted before the Belmont Stakes, what was the rationale for
potentially penalizing early answerers? I don't see the second
tiebreaker as being that significant here.

Mark, you did not comment my remark about set/game
 
Neither Ping-pong nor Badminton has the concept of games.
And to win the entire game - the match - you usually need more that one set.
Best of three or five sets are most common.
The only sport I know of to have games, is tennis.
 
Or is the question to be interpreted
To win a *match* , you need to score ....

In Swedish. Although "set" is an loan from English, this does not
necessarily mean that the word is used in English in the same context.
I looked at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_tennis, and bit down
the page it says:

A game shall be won by the player first scoring 11 points unless both
players score 10 points, when the game shall be won by the first player
subsequently gaining a lead of 2 points. A match shall consist of the
best of any odd number of games.[39] In competition play, matches are
typically best of five or seven games.

And there it is.
Translations are confusing enough as is - without using the same words
for different things.
 
Thanks Erland for the clarification.
And since this most likely does not make sense for the rest of you -
sorry about the noise.
