Judging by the response….  some Dodderers have plainly had trouble spotting the ball in the previous competition.

So this time there is more than one ball , and they’re still visible!

Provide the co-ordinates of the square(s) that the ball(s) are in. A Chilled bottle of wine to the Winning Dodderer!

Answer for the previous competition…sadly no winners.

Spot the Ball Competition

In this Boxing Day doddering match the ball has been erased.
There will be a prize of a Bottle of Wine from the Captains Cellar  to the first Dodderer to add a comment to the blog with the correct answer..

The ball is actually in two of the squares. You need to provide the X and Y coordinates for each half of the ball e.g. (X,Y) (10,10)&(10,11). Click on the picture for a bigger version. Multiple entries allowed per user subject to the Captains Fair Use Policy.

Special Mention to Chris who had the nearest guess by far….
