Abstract:
A method of playing a game using a toy comprising a cylindrical body having an outside diameter and including an axial bore having an internal diameter, an interior axially oriented wall defining the diameter of the axial bore, and exterior axially oriented wall disposed exterior of and concentric with the interior wall, and a plurality of equally spaced radially directed connecting webs attached to and interconnecting the interior wall and the exterior wall where adjacent webs define open cells, and wherein, the value of the inside diameter is less than three times the value of the spacing between the inside diameter and the outside diameter the cylindrical body including a first end surface disposed to lie in a plane perpendicular to the axial bore, and a second end surface disposed to lie in a plane perpendicular to the axial bore, the method of playing the game comprising the steps of:throwing the toy onto a planar surface; assigning a first outcome when the toy comes to rest where the exterior wall of the cylindrical body remains in contact with the planar surface; and assigning a second outcome when the toy comes to rest where the first end surface remains in contact with the planar surface and the cylindrical body stands upright.
