STEP TWO

She pressed "start" button and nine balls rolled down. Gretel took a look at the the set-up, the lane was inclined so she needed to push the balls up. She casually rolled her first ball, it feebly bounced off at the roll-back and hit the 20-point bucket. "Not enough strength." She oscillated her arm like a pendulum and with a bigger force, she threw the ball out. "Better." A small curvature formed by her closed mouth, she realized she really can't stop analyzing. "It needs to be faster." Gretel swayed her arms in a higher angle before she let it fall, it flew like a rocket into the 100-point small bucket. "Perfect." Even alone, she couldn't help to mumble to herself. She targeted the next ball at 100-point bucket but it hit against the edge of the bucket border and recoiled into the tunnel. No score for this ball! Gretel paused, remained in a posture of pushing her glasses up in her processing of strategies to make use of. "Alright, let's try again." She rolled two ball successively, they both landed the 20-point bucket. "Increase the force." The small thinking exercises were as pleasant as breeze from seashore. Next two hit the 40-point bucket. "One last chance." She adjusted her position before she rolled, strike, she scored 100 points to add on top of her accumulated score.


Total: 20 + 40 + 100 + 0 + 20 + 20 + 40 + 40 + 100 = 380
