Joe and bob are enthuastic dart players. They decide to make a bet. They wanna measure which of the 2 is a better darts player. But since they live in different places and cannot meet regularly they decide to throw the darts in a local pub. The pubkeeper will keep records. The competition would last 2 months.
When the first month is over Joe and Bob go to the bartender and ask which of them has a better average on the throws for the first month. Joe is the winner with a better average.
They continue into the second month. When the month is over Joe and Bob meet at the bar again and ask which of the 2 has a better average, and is a winner for the second month. Joe again has a better average. So he's declared as the winner.
As Joe and Bob are leaving the pubkeeper stops them and says that Joe didn't win after all. When the 2 months are counted together Bob has a better average, and should be declared winner. Is this possible, or is the pubkeeper just drunk? If it is, how?
Sure it's possible, you mention that Joe has the best avarage for two months. Then suddently the bartender says Bob has a better avarage. Your question is, is this possible? Well, why not? I don't get it. First default would be, one of them is cheating... lol
