Subject: Another riddle

Just wanted to keep this thread going as I love the brain teasers.

Two men play 5 games of chess. Each wins the same number of games. There are no ties. How is this possible?

They each had different apponents.

Each has two wins and the fifth game is still ongoing.

Maybe i'm wrong here, but if there are five games, they can't get the same amount if it's odd.

But, the OP never said the games were finished.

Honeybee is right. This is an old puzzle. They were not playing against each other.

Sometimes I prefer to think outside the box. I am right. lol

I would say that each had two wins against each other and the fifth game was against a third opponent.

They weren't playing against each other, although I much appreciate the thinking outside the box.
