Darin and Ryan played a quick game of Black Box. Ryan, 8 years old, was just learning the game.
Darin hid the balls first, using the following scheme:
33322222
21098765
1-------o24
2--------23
3--------22
4--------21
5o---o---20
6--------19
7--------18
8----o---17
1111111
90123456
Ryan got a few hits right away, and located the balls at 1-16 and 5-13 right away. He proceeded to pick 7 (ray exited at 10) and finally used that information with some more picks to locate the other two balls. Ryan's score: 15.
Ryan hid next, using
33322222
21098765
1--------24
2-o------23
3--------22
4--------21
5----o---20
6-------o19
7-o------18
8--------17
1111111
90123456
Darin guessed after his score was 11, and got the ball at 16-19 wrong (he guessed 13-19). After the +5 penalty to Darin, the final score was Ryan 15, Darin 16 -- a narrow win for Ryan.
