Diane de ASCII. Wins : 27 Losses:10 Place: Boston
Gina Griffy. Wins : 30 Losses:8. Place: Portland
Edna exec Wins : 36 Losses:4 Place: Los Angeles
Verification from clues:
The hacker with 36 wins isn't from Portland.
Edna exec (36w) is not from Portland
The hacker from Los Angeles is either Yvonne Ware or the hacker with 4 losses.
Yvonne Ware is from Miami (given) so hacker with 4 losses is (Edna) is from LA
Yvonne Ware is from Miami.
A direct clue
Hannah Hak has fewer wins than the hacker from Boston.
Hannah Hak has 24 while hacker from Boston has 27
Diane DeAscii has 3 more wins than the hacker with 12 losses.
The same (27 and 24). So now Hannah has 12 losses
Of the hacker from Philadelphia and the hacker with 33 wins, one is Yvonne Ware and the other has 12 losses.
Yvonne isn't from Philadelphia, so she has 33 wins.and the one with 12 losses, Hannah is from Philadelphia
The hacker from Miami has 9 more wins than the hacker with 12 losses.
Yvonne has 33, so Hannah should have 24
The hacker with 2 losses, Gina Giffy, and the hacker from Boston are three different people.
They are Yvonne, Gina and Diane de ascii
Gina Giffy has 8 losses.
Another direct clue
The hacker with 36 wins, the hacker from Boston, and the hacker from Philadelphia are three different people.
They are Edna , Diane nand Hannah
