average of all 5 is 72.
average of first 4 is 74.
just have to find a # divisible by 5 that equals 72 when divided by 5
Then find a # divisible by 4 that equals 74 when divided by 4
take the difference, theres your answer.

Reiny
total of his 5 games = 5(72) = 360
total of his top 4 games = 4(74) = 296
lowest game = 360-296 = 64
total of his top 4 games = 4(74) = 296
lowest game = 360-296 = 64
