While out bowling with his friends, a man managed to throw eight strikes (all ten pins knocked down in a single throw) and not a single gutter ball during the entire game. To his amazement, his final score was only 99 points! Assuming there were no penalties or fouls, can you come up with a ten frame scorecard with eight strikes and a final score of only 99 points?
One option is:
strike, one, strike , one , strike, strike, one, strike, one, strike, strike , strike
11 + 1 +11 + 1 + 21 +11 + 1 + 11 + 1 + 30 = 99
