Today Puzzle #532

Puzzle No. 532 – Friday 26 July

The 2019 Tour de France concludes this Sunday in Paris. When awarding the four famous jerseys, the person handing them out makes four mistakes. He hands the overall winner jersey to the cyclist from the Vatican. He hands the best sprinter jersey to a cyclist from Nigeria. He hands the best young rider jersey to a cyclist from Cyprus. And finally he hands the King of the Mountains jersey to a Croatian cyclist. What logic might explain the mistakes made?

Today’s #PuzzleForToday has been set by Bobby Seagull, a school Maths teacher and Cambridge University Doctorate student.
