One man slinging game

Well, it's not like a game, more to find out if your slinging improves.

The game:
First, go to the place you sling at a target. I use a stone in the river.
Then sling 50 stones, and count how many times you hit and miss.

Say you hit 40 out of 50.
To make it easier, you make the numbers smaller:
40 hit=4
10 miss=1

Then how to play:
You start with 50 points, and every time you miss, take away 4 points, and when you hit, add 1.

Examle 2:

10 hits
40 miss=1:4

Every time you miss, take away 1 point, and when you hit, add 4.


So when you hit, add the % (made smaller) of how many miss you had in the test.
And when you miss, take away the % (made smaller) of how many hit you had in the test.


If you do this in a while you will, when your slinging improves, end higher than 50, and if you get worse, it'll end lower.

If you don't understand the system completely, here's a better explanation:

If you played this game, and you had just the same number of hits and miss as in the test, you are going to have 50 points when end.

The test looks say like this:
30 hit=3
20 miss=2

Five throws:
1.  Hit= add 2, you got 52
2.  Hit= add 2, you got 54
3.  Hit= add 2, you got 56
4.  Miss=take away 3, you got 53
5.  Miss=take away 3, you got 50

Hit in test=take away in game
Miss in test=add in game

very interesting.
definately more indepth than just calculating hits by percentage(i say calculate hits but percentage because i definately miss more than i hit lol Roll Eyes )

gotta try it next time i actually get 50 rounds to throw.. i'd hate to have to throw 10 then go and pick up a bunch of times and do it all over again.. im lazy i know...
usually i just gather all the rocks I can find, then throw them (usually around 20-30) and go gather as many of thsoe that I can find and throw them again. man do i wish i had more time to throw more than that tho

I was so lucky yesterday, I was slinging nearby the river, and something was floating in the middel of the river. So I slung a couple of stones at it, but then it floated down the river, so I followed it, and then I found a bunch of perfect round river stones in a perfect distance from a stone in the river. Perfect slinging spot!
So, tomorrow I'll go there and test the game.
