Sibling Rivalry: Marble Stairs

All we needed to play was our enclosed back stairway, one empty Chock Full O' Nuts coffee can, one Chock Full O' Nuts coffee can filled with marbles, and one pith helmet.

Two sisters sat at the top of the stairs with all the marbles (a couple hundred, at least) and the third sister sat at the bottom of the stairway wearing the pith helmet (safety first) -- her empty coffee can poised to collect as many of the marbles that were soon to be tossed and rolled down the stairs.

I'm not sure if we ever counted marbles to determine who won.
