Physics/Game Problem - Win a Tao Tao DB10 pocket bike
This game is running at the Toronto C.N.E. for the next six days:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj5n03V6fR8 What is the optimal strategy here ? (All three blocks must leave the platform) One of the barkers told me that aiming at the junction of the bottom and middle blocks on the front right corner is the play, throwing somewhat sidearm. However in the video above it appears the strike was directly between the bottom front edge of the bottom block and the platform. (Observe the ball rebounding directly back to the player. I was down there last night, just watching. It's $5 / ball, 5 balls for $20. There is another game, to win the bike, "gun-ball", which looks a lot harder, though people are winning at it (occasionaly). You need to know a "triangle" of glasses over. The ball looks like a tennis ball, and is fired off a VERY WEAK "spring gun". You can lean over and hold the gun ~2-3 feet from the targets. The ball barely gets to the glasses The barker was showing the strategy (though even knowing it, it still needs a perfect "shot". (Aim at the top edge of the right hand glass.) I didn't find any videos for that game yet. |
