Carnival games. I hope they're rigged, I love their expressions when I beat them.

Anyone for cocktails on the beach after the sun goes down?

	But also the beach! Is it brute force or tactical advantages? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's just perfect all around. Tactical advantage. There's usually a particular trick to it that you can pick up by watching the worker very carefully. If there's one thing I'm good at it's copying people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm just hoping it's not a bait and switch. The pattern is bad, good, bad, etc. If there's anything worth winning, let me know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The location changes were alternating with other things as well until now. It's hard to tell if there's a pattern yet. Probably not, but I guess we'll see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know, we need more data points. There might be more after a few of those cocktails. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's what I don't like about science. All the waiting. The giant stuffed animals are always entertaining. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They tend to expose me to a lot of craziness, they might as well make themselves useful in the meantime. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Most girls would let the guy do the winning of said toy, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How do they rig them? (Reply to this) (Thread)

Depends on the game. The milk bottles are usually heavier than they look or bottom weighted. The basketball hoops are actually an oval shape and the balls are over-inflated. The darts are dull and the balloons aren't blown up all the way, so you need more pressure to burst them. Bouncing a ball off a tilted board and into a basket is easier the closer you are, so they'll usually demonstrate it from inside the booth or lean in if they do it from behind the line. The ladder climb actually is pure skill, but it's like walking a tightrope without being able to put your arms out for balance, so most people aren't going to be able to do it.

	Oh that's really good to know! Are there ones you're personally better at beating than others? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Probably the ladder climb, milk bottles and ball throwing. Shooting water into the clown mouths, too, but they're just creepy. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	How would you know they were rigged? (Reply to this)
