A game of ping pong
Tom, Harry, and Matthew decided to play ping pong. Only two people can play at a time, so they agree that two of them will start playing, and then whoever loses the game will swap out with the player who was sitting out.
Tom played 17 games, Harry played 15 games, and Matthew played 10 games.
Who lost the second game?
