Play the classic shell game. How close can you keep your eyes on the cup?

Shell game is the classic game where three or more identical containers (which may be cups, shells, bottle caps, or anything else) are placed face-down on a surface. A small ball is placed beneath one of these containers so that it cannot be seen, and they are then shuffled randomly. You are invited to bet on which container holds the ball
