Give Frogstein a "spin", i.e. hit him with the racket with the racket moving up
or down at the moment you hit his nose, and he will start going up and down for
more fun ... the faster you move the racket up or down, i.e. the faster the
"spin", the faster Frogstein will move up and down!

You have (inadvertently) given Frogstein a faster and faster spin with every
hit, until he becomes invincible ... the trick is to return him to the squash
court without increasing his spin, i.e. do not move the racket up or down at
the moment you hit his nose. 

You can also try to calm Frogstein down by decreasing his spin. For example, if
he moves towards the racket with a downwards motion, then move the racket
upwards at the moment you hit his nose. Do this with a certain feel, because if
you overdo it, then Frogstein will get a fast spin in the opposite direction,
and you may be worse off!

Of course, you can also play a sharper game by deliberately increasing
Frogstein's spin!

        This game may be more sophisticated
       then you thought! Enjoy!
