Well, I work out it out as follows:

Ends 1-10, you miss with the 1st ball, get a half-strike with the second.

Therefore, you get 100 for the first 10 ends, but because you get a half-strike on the 10th end, you get one more end, which you get a strike on

= 110


Over to Sue.

nope, but that is the second most common.

you can see this on the keypads from which buttons tend to be the cleanest (i.e. least pushed)

Sound logic there, but I'll plumb for zero?

MV gets it, 0 is most common, don't ask me why.
maybe to do with 10/12 month having a 0 in them?
but you can see for yourself next time you use an ATM.
if you have criminal tendencies you can also work out entry codes easily enough with the same method.

Partly there, but those xxx's have a specific range - I know it's a bit 'anal' but if no-one gets any closer, Harry can have it. ;)
