NER'S "MATHEMATICAL.GAMES" COLUMN IN SCI
ENTIFIC AMERICAN..(I WONDER HOW MANY CLA

G-UP.JOB IN MAKING THE GAME ATTRACTIVE A
ND.FRIENDLY. ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS YOU.N

READ BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT IT THE.FIRST TIM
E... HE'S ALSO ADDED ONE OF MY.FAVORI
TE DEVICES, CUSTOM CHARACTERS.. THE G
AME IS SIMPLE, YET TOUGH..YOU HAVE AN 8
BY 8 GRID IN WHICH FIVE.BALLS ARE HIDDEN
. YOU HAVE TO FIND.THEM BY FIRING 'RAYS
' INTO THE GRID.AND SEEING WHERE THE RAY
S COME OUT..IF THEY DO. IF YOUR RAY HIT
S A BALL.HEAD ON THEN THE RAY WON'T COME
OUT..TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE LOCATIONS OF
.THE FIVE BALLS WITH THE FEWEST NUMBER.O
F RAYS TO COLLECT THE BEST SCORE..IT SOU
NDS EASY ENOUGH BUT IT'S NOT... BECAU
SE RAYS WILL CAROM OFF BALLS.UNLESS THEY
HIT THEM HEAD ON YOU.CAN'T ALWAYS BE SU
RE YOU HAVE LOCATED.A PARTICULAR BALL.
DON'T BE.SURPRISED IF THE FIRST FEW TIME
S YOU.PLAY YOU FEEL YOU HAVE THE FIVE BA
LLS.LOCATED ONLY TO FIND OUT YOU'RE WRON
