Example Calculation
A bowler has knocked down 2700 total pins in 15 games and wants a 200 average.
- 01Average = 2700 / 15 = 180.0.
- 02Pins needed for 200 avg over 16 games = 200 x 16 - 2700 = 3200 - 2700 = 500.
- 03The bowler needs a 500 in the next game (impossible), so multiple good games are needed.
- 04Average pins per frame = 180 / 10 = 18.0.
