Can you deduce the winner of a secret wizard tournament after a forgetting curse?

Can you solve the magical maze riddle? - Alex Rosenthal · 4:51 · Video: TED-Ed · Watch at the source

In short: A dark wizard has cast a spell to erase the results of an annual competition between three schools. You are the only person who witnessed the events, and now you must use logic to reconstruct the outcome. Alex Rosenthal explains how to solve this magical riddle.

In this scenario, three wizarding schools compete in a series of events held in total secrecy. Because the participants and the tournament organizer are the only ones who know what transpired, the sudden arrival of a forgetting curse leaves the official record blank.

The challenge requires viewers to apply deductive reasoning to piece together the tournament results. By analyzing the constraints of the situation, you can determine which competitor emerged victorious despite the magical interference.
