The "range" of a set of numbers is just the difference between the biggest number and the smallest number. (The maximum "far-apart-ness" of the scores)
The biggest score is 92, and we know that "41" is 8 bigger than the smallest number.
41 - 8 = 33, so the smallest score is 33.
Therefore, the range is 92 - 33 = 59.
