Floyd's Bumpershoot, a variation of Black Box, is a puzzle game in which you must deduce the hidden locations of three types of bumpers on a pool table by shooting pool balls onto the table and seeing where they exit. Flippers, Reflectors, and Holes secretly deflect, reflect, and absorb the ball. You win by deducing where all the bumpers are.

By shooting balls onto the table from various locations around the edge and watching where the ball comes off of the table, you can deduce where bumpers HAVE to be and where they CAN'T be. When you've located all of the bumpers (correctly) the puzzle is solved and you win. (Don't you just hate it when you lose?)

Puzzles are available in three preconfigured sizes: Small, Medium, and Large. There is also a Custom Size that is user configurable in terms of the width and height of the table, the number of bumpers on the table, and the maximum number of Reflectors and Holes.
