Discover Black Box

Send a ray into the grid from one of its edges. Depending on where the hidden balls are, the ray can pass through, return to where it entered, or be absorbed. Compare several shots to work out where the balls could be, then check your guesses. James Harvey contributed this version to Simon Tatham’s collection.
