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.

You're right!!!

Try this: http://public.csusm.edu/public_html/veres/ er, if you're as sad as me...

League: We've won it three years in a row now, (£750 prize!!) but we're second this season and there's only three games left, from which we need maximum points!!!

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)

I'd say 5, the centre.

two down, eight to go

9 - my logic was a lot of pins will be 19XX

Matt Vinyl · Post by **Matt Vinyl** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 10:24 am

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

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 10:41 am

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.

Good-o!

Can anyone tell me the range of phone numbers that are actually reserved for fictional use only?

555 XXXX XXX in the us.

Matt Vinyl · Post by **Matt Vinyl** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 11:17 am

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.
