I have 10 teams playing one game in sets of two for a total of 5 games only. I have oragnized an example of what I want but I have done it by hand. There are 5 home teams and 5 away teams. Each team and their opponent is set and can not change. I need an excel formula to determine the possible outcomes for each game. The formula could be hilighting the winning team or the losing team, it could be answering winner or loser in the colum next to the teams. I just need a way to make this process faster than by entering by hand. Attached is a excel sheet that shows more of what I am trying to do for clairity. I only did the most basic selection by hand but need a way to determine every possible win/loss sequence/variation in excel or other formula. (No data in row 22, just skiped it so I can fit in all sets that I made.)

Carter says, after looking at his card, “I know that Mars and Mann have different numbers.” Mars then says, “I already knew that thet hree cards had different numbers.” At this point, Mann confidently exclaims, “I now know all thet hree numbers!” What were the numbers and who had which number?
