A master of putting
A golfer is a real pro in putting, he can play the bal however he likes, but only in ranges of exactly 1, 5, 7 or 11 meters.
If he plays the ball farther than he is away from the hole, the ball rolls over it, eg. if he plays the ball from 4 meters away with a distance shot of 5 meters, the ball stops 1 meter behind the hole.
So if the ball lies 20 meters away from the hole, what is the minimum amount of shots to put the ball in the hole?

or 7 7 7 -1
Cam
1st stroke odd and <20
2nd stroke even and !=20
3rd stroke odd, thus != 20
4th stroke even
Can't be done in <4 strokes as per above
Cam
it's possible with less than 4 strokes, just become a bit more creative ;)
Ok I use two 11 meter puts at an angle.
Score
Cam
you got it
But how would you know what is the angle?
The angle is:
cos inv (10/11) off the line from the original position of the ball to the hole. i.e ~=24.6199773286 deg
