sorry to be a pain but the answers you have for 52 and 53 are wrong. you can win a set at tennis with 12 shots. you win 4 points on your serve each game with 4 aces and other person double faults 4 times. polo must also only be played right handed.

Question 52 i have accepted that it could be won in 12 shots and i gave a point if that is what you put.
As for question 53, it appears after some investigation when marking the quizzes that the answer is not Polo, but the majority of the people who answered put that as an answer so therefore that was marked as correct. As that was the answer i had.

And at the end of the day the question masters decision is final.
