Time for another puzzle. Big Grin
In a practice soccer match lasting 90 minutes, one team of 11 players alternates 4 reserves equally with each player. This means that all players, including the reserves are on the pitch for the same amount of time. so how long is each player on the pitch?

Looking at it simplistically, 15 players at 6 minutes each ? It can't be that simple though can it?

You need a Team of players on the pitch at once, not one. Big Grin
