| Seven Little Tennis Riddles | |
Question #7. Suzy and Teresa come to their match on a beautiful, crisp fall day, each with a big tennis bag stuffed with racquets, hats, extra clothes, sunglasses, towels, food, and drinks. They decide to use six new balls, all of the same brand and model, for their match. During the first changeover, Suzy quietly slips one of the balls into her bag. On the next changeover, she quietly retrieves the ball, and moments later, she uses it to hit by far her highest-bouncing kick serve of the day, which Teresa is unable to return. Next to which of the items listed in her tennis bag had she put the ball, and why would she have had more trouble playing innocent if she had brought this item to their previous match three months earlier?
