The secret word is EXACTLY.
A) 22 x 0.65 = 14.3 games; not an even number.
B) 20 x 0.65 = 13.0 games; an even number.
C) 18 x 0.65 = 11.7 games; not an even number.
D) 14 x 0.65 = 9.1 games; not an even number.
The team played only whole games not parts of a game. B is the only total number of games that gives an even number with winning exactly 65%.
