The sum of digits 1-9 is 45. In the four sums (each 13), C, E, and G are counted twice. Total sum = 45 + C + E + G = 13 * 4 = 52. Thus C + E + G = 7. Since they are distinct digits, they must be 1, 2, and 4. Trial and error shows E=4 works for the middle intersection.

Let time for a non-math question be x. Then math is 2x. Total time is 50(2x) + 150(x) = 250x. 180 minutes / 250 = 0.72 minutes per x. Math time = 100x = 100 * 0.72 = 72 minutes. Other options do not satisfy the 2:1 ratio and 180-minute limit.

Using the principle of inclusion-exclusion: Total = (Latin + Greek - Both) + Neither. 15 = (7 + 8 - Both) + 3. This simplifies to 15 = 18 - Both, so Both = 3. Distractors like 4 or 5 fail the total count of 15.

Initially, the team won 18 games (30% of 60). Let 'x' be the wins in a row. (18 + x) / (60 + x) = 0.5. Solving for x: 18 + x = 30 + 0.5x; 0.5x = 12; x = 24.
