Riddle: Two Men, Five Checkers Games, Same Wins, No Ties

Answer: The two men did not play against each other. Each played five games against different opponents (or at different times), and each won the same number of games (e.g., both won 3, lost 2).

Alternative lateral-thinking answers:

• They played as partners in doubles matches.
• "Games" refers to matches (each match = multiple games), and they split matches.
• They played solitaire/checkers puzzles, not head-to-head.

The classic riddle solution: They weren't playing each other.
