Oh, OK! Well, to start, bowling involves rolling a bowling ball toward some sort of target.
The target being pins I guess! That's the extent of my knowledge! Do I have to knock them all down on my first try?
knowledge: A strike is when all the pins are knocked down on the first roll, whereas a spare is when all the pins are knocked over on the second shot.
response: If you do knock them down on the first try, that's called a strike. However, if you take two tries to knock them all down, that's called a spare.

Good to know! Do I need special shoes to go bowling?
knowledge: The pin version of bowling is often played on a flat wooden or other synthetic surface (which can be oiled in different patterns for different techniques), while in target bowling, the surface may be grass, gravel or a synthetic surface.
response: I can't really say. The pin version of bowling usually takes place on a wood or synthetic surface, but there is also target blowing, which can be done on grass or gravel.
