With a friend named Ed, from what I read in another thread. Does Ed work in the sewers? Is Ralph married and is his wife's name Alice? Inquiring minds want to know.

I've never heard of "netball" but since basketball is the only one that uses a net, I'll go with that.

I'd have guessed B simply because I know it's not any of the others. The first Costco in the area opened less than a year ago and I've never been inside.

Nihil obstat® so far. Ralph looks like he might be on for a good run.

I can't recall hearing of netball, either. And this is (pre-inflation) a $200 question!?

What's the difference between netball and basketball?

It's all his fault. That'll be $10.

Netball is a very limited version of basketball. It's a common game in England. IIRC, the main differences are that you can only dribble once before you have to pass, and the players are limited to certain areas of the court.

Of course, you could get a more definitive and complete answer by googling, but I'll pretend to be your minion this time. :P
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

It's a low-value question because basketball's the only choice that made any sense.
