Ze story of ze solid 9



One day The Ranis Boys had a little bit freetime and wanted to play a few gamez at ze Bowling alley. It waz ze eight of December in 2012.
He went there and rented zome bowling shoez. He waz on lane 12 thiz afternoon and juzt wanted to play 2 gamez. He took hiz own bowling ball, ze ol´ Ebonite Maxim 13 lbs and started ze firzt throw.
But he didn´t know any rule. Can you tell uz some So here is the firzt queztion that you need for finding ze Cache:

333) Yez, of courze

555) Thatz allowed, but he haz to requezt ze tournament host

So The Ranis Boys threw their firzt ball towardz ze pinz. He striked. After ze firzt strike he thinkz about playing a 300 game. But he doezn´t know how many strikez he needz. Do you know it?

Queztion B: How many strikez do The Ranis Boys still need for zhooting a 300 game?

113) 12
133) 10
331) 9
313) 11

But ze zecond frame wazn´t a strike. Ze Ball was too zlow to knock down all ze Pinz.
He leavez ze solid 9 standing. Ze solid 9 doezn´t like any ol´ bowler. It´z so solid at ze end of ze lane.

Then ze 10 pinz at ze end of ze lane were standing there and ze door of ye ol´ bowling alley openz. Ze wind waz zo hard, that all ze pinz fell. But again The Ranis Boys were not able to knock down all ze pinz. Ze 9 pin iz a really hard one. Can you knock it down? Try it on your own!
