i'm guessing that 1 is the distractor, and 3 is the right answer.

I also like the TV in the background. It looks like the one on which Marty watched "The Honeymooners" with his mom's family in "Back to the Future."

Although my answer is not [c], I spy three balls in the picture with Nanna Fargis. How many do u c?

*Extra credit:
Are they 38mm or 40mm balls? What would they be were the pictured playing official tournament ping-pong?

Nana Fargis had three balls? I'll take "Genetic Quirks" for $400, Alex.
