# Sub shoot!

• Published in 2008
In the collection
By day, Leonidas Kontothanassis works as my colleague at Google. By night, he runs a gaudy carnival booth on the boardwalk outside of town. "Step right up and try your luck! Shoot the sub and win a prize," Leonidas was calling out one fine Fall evening. He was standing in the middle of the booth, surrounded by a moat packed with plastic toy submarines. The subs were of every shape and size, and they circled the moat at all different speeds, propelled by a complex system of currents.

## Comment

A puzzle similar to the "Princess in a castle" puzzle.
