Which player scored points in maximum number of rounds?
Correct Answer :
Ikea
Solution :
Since the complete game dataset and scoring details are not provided in the source passage, the exact player with the maximum number of rounds cannot be determined mathematically from the text alone. Once the full round-wise score matrix is available, we count the number of rounds in which each player scored at least one point. The player with the highest count is the correct answer.
