23) A spring has a length of 1.0 meter when there is no tension on it. The spring is then stretched between two points 10 meters apart. A wave pulse travels between the two end points in the spring in a time of 1.0 seconds. The spring is now stretched between two points that are 20 meters apart. The new time it takes for a wave pulse to travel between the ends of the spring is closest to which of the following? A) 0.5 seconds B) 0.7 seconds C) 1 second D) 1.4 seconds E) 2 seconds

Lola, Lolo, Tiya, and Tiyo participated in a ping pong tournament. Each player competed against each of the other three players exactly twice. Shown below are the win-loss records for the players. The numbers $1$ and $0$ represent a win or loss, respectively. For example, Lola won five matches and lost the fourth match. What was Tiyo’s win-loss record? \[\begin{tabular}{c | c} Player & Result \\ \hline Lola & \texttt{111011}\\ Lolo & \texttt{101010}\\ Tiya & \texttt{010100}\\ Tiyo & \texttt{??????} \end{tabular}\] $\textbf{(A)}\ \texttt{000101} \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \texttt{001001} \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ \texttt{010000} \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \texttt{010101} \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ \texttt{011000}$
