You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Attach a 2nd table below this one which is
\n" ); document.write( "a mirror image of balls A and B
\n" ); document.write( "Then attach a 3rd table to the right of that
\n" ); document.write( "table which is a mirror image of A and B in the 2nd table
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "All you have to do is shoot ball A in the 1st table
\n" ); document.write( "and aim for B in the 3rd table
\n" ); document.write( " Ball A will hit both rails in the right spots
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "The rails are not included in the reflections,
\n" ); document.write( "only the surface that the ball rolls on
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this is what you need
\n" ); document.write( "Try drawing it
\n" ); document.write( "
