97 baseball teams participate in an annual state tournament. The champion is chosen for this tournament by the usual elimination scheme. That is, the 97 teams are divided into pairs, and the two teams of each pair play against each other. The loser of each pair is eliminated, and the remaining teams are paired up again, etc. How many games must be played to determine a champion?

If this is a trick question, I don't know the answer. However, if this is a real question testing math skills... then the answer will be 96 matches (unless there's an additional match to determine the 3rd place. Then it will be 97)

Seriously? Well, left is the only thing I can think of, but I still have ro think about how it fits exactly, since I'm still a bit confused XD
Right when it's wrong...
I guess that implies that going right would make it wrong
Wrong when it's right implies that you're wrong if you go right, which is basically the same thing reversed.
I thing "right and wrong" in this case don't have to do with "correct and incorrect" since riddles can be paradoxical, but their answers make sense.. and this one contradicts itself...?
My brain is going to explode o.e
