HERE'S HOW
1. Place the paper strip flat on the table.
2. Position the ball magnets as shown in
the illustration.
3. Now, taking turns, each player moves
either the red or the green ball one hole
at a time toward the center of the strip.
At first, of course, it will be easy, but
sooner or later the balls will start
sensing one another's magnetic force,
with a growing risk that they might
clack together.

The winner of the round is the last one to
have set a ball into a hole without making it
clack together with the ball in the center.
That player can assign himself or herself the
point total written next to the corresponding
hole.
After about ten rounds, each player adds up
his or her points. Whoever ends up with the
most points is the winner.
