Hi Balin Good morning Peter. Or... it's morning in my time zone; I have no idea what it is in yours. Hit = Musical chart hit? hit in baseball? hit as in a contract killing? hit as in the internet sense? None of these Team = Sports? Whether it is a sport is debatable, but I will say Yes Co-workers? Did some sort of world record get broken? No | ||

Is it more of a hobby or passtime? Maybe a boardgame? Battleships perhaps? Does the hit constitute one object hitting another? is there any human contact? Any physical pain? could this be described as a collision? | ||

Is the idea of the game to hit a person with an object? Is the object a ball? If not is it made from a specific material? Does the object get propelled by another person? with their hand? a bat or something similar? Would parents of children discourage this hobby or game? Is it considered dangerous? | ||

So two teams were playing paintball, right? Both teams hit each other with paint balls? Neither of them had the biggest hit = A third team had a bigger paintball hit? A person not associated with a team had a bigger hit? There was a bigger "hit" that resembled paint wasn't actually a paintball at all? Maybe bird poop? Something similar? | ||

Was he just testing his potato cannon? Yes. **********SPOILER********** A man was testing his potato cannon by shooting it into the woods. He inadvertently fired it towards a paintball game taking place in the same woods, and hit one of the players with the potato -- the "biggest hit" of the game. Nice solve Doriana; nice work everyone. Nuevo puzzle shorty. |
