Jon and Paul are playing a card game.
Jon shuffles a set of 14 cards, numbered consecutively from 1 to 14.
He deals them, giving seven to Paul and seven to himself.
A player's score is the total of the numbers on the seven cards received.
Jon wins if his score is greater than Paul's score.

The number of possible winning scores available is:
. . $(a)\;24 \qquad (b)\;25 \qquad (c)\;52 \qquad (d)\;53 \qquad(e)\;105$

The total number of points available is: . $1 + 2 + 3 + \hdots + 14 \:=\:105$

To win, Jon must have a minimum of 53 points.

His maximum is the top seven cards: . $8 + 9 + 10 + \hdots + 14 \:=\:77$ points.

$\text{The winning scores are: }\;\underbrace{53,\:54,\:55,\:\hdots \:77}_{\text{ 25 scores}}$

. . There are 25 winning scores . . . answer (b).
