Re: 2011 Red Herring #1

You're getting pretty far afield here with the numerology.

It's actually a regulation tennis ball. The 4 is a reference to the 4" inside diameter of the 10' tall pipe that serves as a goal.

I should mention that you have to climb the pipe to pull down the sleeve (80 lbs required for activation) that opens the cover so you can drop the tennis ball in.

It's all very simple.
