	Candlepin bowling
		Candlepin bowling is a variation of bowling that is confined to the New England states of Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire and to the Maritime provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
		The ten candlepins are automatically set by machine into a triangle with 4 pins in the back row, then 3, 2, and finally 1 in the front, at the center of the lane.
		As in ten-pin bowling, due to the spacing of the pins, it is impossible for the ball to strike every one.
