2. the sum of the 2 scores is even
3. the 2 scores are equal
4. at least 1 of the scores = 6
5. the difference between the scores is >= 3
6. the sum of the 2 scores is >= 10 given that the sum of the 2 scores is >= 6
7. the sum of the 2 scores is >= 10 given that the sum of the 2 scores is even
8. the 2 scores are equal given that at least 1 of the 2 scores is >=5
