Despite my normal antipathy toward sport, I was caught up in the game—having a blindfold over my eyes and not being able to see anything probably helped. I spent most of my time trying to imagine what the game looked like. It sounded something like basketball—the object seemed to be to get a ball through a ring. But the ball could bounce off walls and still be in play, and the game also made use of "end zones." I just couldn’t picture it.
