Battleship


    Once, as a kid, I was playing my older brother in Battleship, and lost because I couldn't find where he had stashed one of his two-space submarines.

    After the game was over, I demanded to know where he had placed that sub.  He replied that it was directly below one of his four-space battleships, and when I had called those squares, it only counted against the surface ship, not the sub.  According to him, I would've had to call those same two squares again to sink the second ship.

    I countered that the battleship, as it was sinking, would've crushed that frickin' sub on its way to the bottom of the sea.

    We never did resolve our differences of interpretation of the rules.
