OK, so it was pretty simple: take a live lamb, and slaughter it upon arrival. Get your heads around this one:

Ari Gant boasts to Professor Quantum and Dr. Prod that he is the best chess player of the three. In the upcoming chess tournament between them, Ari claims that he will probably win all three games they will play, and definitely two in a row. Ari knows that Professor Quantum usually beats him, but he hasn't any problem defeating Dr. Prod. What is the best way for Ari to play his opposition so that he has the best chance of succeeding in his definite claim. Should he play Quantum - Prod - Quantum, or should he play Prod - Quantum - Prod?
