Why not ping pong, factor? Because it's table tennis?

[factor-fiction]

No- because I thought you normally played either first to 11 or first to 21

[factor-fiction]

(^ with clear lead of two points). Some TT (PP) tournaments I played in used to play to 15 but it was certainly not the norm

[pixie373]

Oh yes, i was thinking 15. Maybe it is 21.

[factor-fiction]

It was 21 when I used to play competitively 30-40 years ago but when I played a few times in tournaments on holiday recently I was told it's now 11- and when i checked I found this was correct. But 15 is sometimes used

[pixie373]

According to google, it is 11, with two clear points. We always played to 15 for some reason.

F. The letters are the first ones in the words for the numbers they represent in a series of squared numbers: 1 squared = One, 2 squared = Four, 3 squared = Nine, etc.

o f n s t t f
I think these could be the initial letters of digits (one, four/five, nine, six/seven, two,three. four/five), but i can't see the pattern
