Okay, so I stumbled upon this “blackball nyt” thing today, and I was like, “What the heck is that?” I’m always up for trying new little games, especially if they’re from The New York Times. So, I dove right in.

Figuring Out the Rules
First, I spent some time poking around, trying to get the hang of the rules. No instructions, classic! Just a grid and some circles. I clicked a few circles, noticed some numbers popping up, and slowly started to piece things together.
My First Few Attempts
My first couple of tries? Total disaster. I was just randomly clicking, hoping for the best. Let’s just say my score was not something to brag about. I think I got more blackballs than anything else!
- Try 1: Total mess. Random clicks everywhere.
- Try 2: Slightly better, but still mostly luck.
- Try 3: Starting to see a pattern.
Getting the Hang of It
But, you know, I’m stubborn. I kept at it. I started to pay more attention to where the rays were going, how they were bouncing off the walls, and where they were exiting the grid.
I realized that I could use the numbers on the edges to kind of “triangulate” the positions of the blackballs. It’s like a little logic puzzle, and I do love those.
Finally, Some Success!
After a few more attempts, I finally managed to locate all the blackballs! It felt great. It’s not exactly a high-adrenaline game, but it’s definitely satisfying to crack the *’s like solving a little mystery.
My Takeaway
So, “blackball nyt”? It’s a fun, quirky little game that’s good for a few minutes of brain-teasing. Will I play it every day? Probably not. But it’s a nice addition to my collection of casual games. If you like logic puzzles, give it a shot!
