Blueprint Description[]
In this challenge, the contestant must bounce ping-pong balls along three eleven-inch dinner plates and land a total of three into a fishbowl on the other side. Balls bouncing on the flat part of the plates will move more consistently down the line. Balls landing on the raised edges of the plate, however, will bounce in unpredictable trajectories.

Tips & Tricks[]
- Use a consistent and controlled throwing motion: Practice your aim and throwing technique to make sure you are consistently releasing the ping-pong balls with the same amount of force and in the same direction. This will help you better predict the trajectory of the balls and adjust your aim accordingly.
- Aim for the center of the plates: By bouncing the balls in the center of the plates, you can increase the chances of them staying on track and avoiding the raised edges of the plate. This will help you maintain more control over their path.
- Experiment with different throwing angles: Depending on the distance between the plates and the fishbowl, you may need to adjust the angle at which you release the balls. Experiment with different angles to find the one that works best for your setup.
Stephen Collier just needs one more ping-pong ball to win.
