Jane & John played tennis fora bet of £1 a game.
Jane won 3 games. John came away winning £5.

How many games did they play?

I proved, using inference rules I learned in college, that the following argument is valid. Jim is looking at Jane. Jane is looking at John. Jim is married; John is single. Everybody is either married or single. Therefore, somebody who is married is looking at somebody who is single.

A

If Jane is married, then she is the married person looking at a single person.
If Jane is single, then Jim is the married person looking at the single person.
