Okay, okay. The truth is that I like to play these silly games I make. When I was a child I could spend a couple hours just bouncing a ball off a wall with a paddle. I would count how many times I could hit it without missing.
This one person Table Tennis table/paddle reminds me of those hours hitting the ball off the wall. The goal of this game is simple. How many times can you bounce the ball over the net without hitting the same side of the table twice in a row?

Information: Ping Pong is a trademarked name. Table Tennis is not. Parker Brothers hold the trademark which was purchased from John Jacques. Jacques registered the trademark for Ping Pong in 1901.
