9 is false. An Archer has either 2 minutes to shoot 3 arrows or 4 minutes to shoot 6 arrows
ReplyDelete9 is correct, in the head to head round each archer has 40s to shoot each of his three arrows. This is because the archers alternate in shooting. Obviously 3x40s is 2 mins. In the qualification round it will be 6 arrows in 4 mins.
ReplyDelete10 may be correct but archers do not fire arrows unless they're on fire. Firing implies combustion. Arrows are loosed or shot.
ReplyDelete10 is correct and they don't only fire arrows that are on fire
Delete9 is correct, in the real one 40 second to shoot one arrow. So, 3x40 is 2 min. and 6x40 is 4 min. Its obviously true.
