3. Why?
Scenario 1: Amadou is living in Senegal. He is a fan of local soccer
championships. He supports the Dakar Rusfisque team. He cannot go to the
stadium because it is too expensive or because he works in the evening. He
generally waits for the newspaper of the next day to get the game results.
Scenario 2: Balla lives in Spain but he wants to know the results of the team of
its neighborhood in Senegal during the winter league championship. He is far
away from his country but remember the excitement of the stadium. He
supported the team of his neighborhood. He generally calls his friend to know
how his team is doing.
Scenario 3: The Ministry of Sport wants to know how many soccer games took
place during the local soccer championships in Senegal in 2010. Unfortunately
the data was gathered on paper and nobody can find them..
