Ringing the bull

The ring must stay on the hook to count as a successful throw.

There is a tradition of playing this game at what is reputedly the oldest pub in England, Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem in Nottingham, and in several other traditional public houses.

During episode 49 of Schlag den Raab on the 15 and 16 November 2014 Ringing the bull was played as the 15th game of the evening.

It was terminated after about an hour when both participants failed to score a single point.
