OVERVIEW ~~~~~~~~ BlackBox is a game of deduction. The experimenter fires electrons into the "Black Box" and tries to deduce the whereabouts of the atoms based on where the electrons enter and exit the "Black Box". Sometimes electrons are deflected by one or more of the atoms, sometimes they are reflected, and sometimes the electron is absorbed by an atom. The object of the game is to correctly deduce the location of ALL of the atoms in the "Black Box" with as few electrons as possible. Incorrect guesses are penalised at the rate of 10 points for every atom you get incorrect. The penalty is applied each time you "try" a guess, so don't be too bold with your guesses. 3.
