AI Thread Summary
Leaving only the 1, 7, and 10 pins standing in bowling is physically possible, though it is a rare occurrence. The trajectory and spin of the bowling ball can influence how pins are knocked down, allowing for unusual pin combinations. Bowlers have reported witnessing strange pin setups, supporting the idea that such a scenario can happen. While it may not be common, it is not an impossible outcome in the game of bowling. This discussion highlights the intriguing possibilities within bowling dynamics.

Hello Everyone, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask this question or if it is even a legitimate question to be asking, but my friend and I were arguing about it and I was wondering if you could help settle the argument.

The question is:

Is it physically possible to leave only the 1, 7, and 10 pins standing (each corner of the pin triangle)?

Again, sorry if this is a stupid question...and if it is, just disregard it.

with curve of the trajectory and spin of the ball i would think its possible.
 
yes its possible I've bowled many times and seen weird stuff.

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...
