math question of the day

not like there'll be a math question every day but you get the idea... thought about this suddenly...

assuming that only the points matter and other factors like goal difference and head-to-head are not considerd, what is the minimum number of pts a team needs to win the league?

a league has 20 teams. each team goes against every other team twice. therefore there are 19*2 = 38 matches. a win is 3 pts, a draw is 1 pt, a loss is 0 pts.

the right answer by dec 1st 2359hrs wins a lunch.
