The Shortest War
Difficulty: ★★★☆☆
At the start of Tanzania’s turn, they annouce their ability. After both teams are ready, Tanzania has 38 seconds to shoot an ‘unlimited’ amount of balls at the opposition’s cups, with no defence. Preferably, a spectator will time. One Tanzanian player must be responsible for shooting, and the other player is responsible for returning balls that miss. Grenades and balls back do not result in additional cups sunk or shots taken after the 38 seconds are up. Bounce shots do not count as going in at all (a rim shot is fine and counts as one). All balls that are sunk during the ability are left in the cups until the end of the 38 seconds, where your opposition drinks all the sunk cups and play continues as normal. The maximum amount of balls Tanzania can start with is 10.
