People playing checkers, same number of wins

Pat and Chris played five games of checkers.  Each won the same
number of games, but there were no draws (ties), nor were there
any unfinished games.

How is this possible?

I wish a had a more interesting signature line.

Hi;


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
