A more delicate variant of the usual shooting game. The
idea is to rescue the astronaut from the sea by connecting a winch line
from the helicopter. The helicopter has a central magnet, so you can
connect the balls in a long thread to reach the spaceman. However, the
further you get from the chopper, the weaker the magnetic force is, so the
more gently you have to hit the lowest ball in the chain. Accuracy was
also crucial, as you can see from the picture. Clever and taxing.
