Yay found this one nice and easy
niiiiice.. was easi but fun-filled (Y)
I thought that seemed a little easy, so... According to Statement 2, he had to get 15 balls. Although he only carried three at a time, maybe he could kick (dribble) one as well.
That was fun and easy.Nice job!
A bit too easy...
