Bowling for Dummies

bowling a perfect 300 game requires throwing 12 balls (each of which knocks down all the pins).

at the other extreme, a poor bowler will throw 20 balls and knock down fewer than all 10 pins. if you have the audacity to throw a spare on the 10th frame, you must throw even more balls before you can sit down.

the bowler who throws the fewest balls wins. so, this is like golf, except the ball weighs a lot more, has holes in it, is generally not painted white, etc. ok, ok .. so there's not much comparison. never mind.
