The rigged pendulum game is designed to be unwinnable because the skittle is positioned directly below the axis of the swinging ball, making it physically impossible to hit on the backswing; combined with the rule requiring players to miss on their first swing, this creates a game where no one can ever knock the skittle over.

Inside The Rigged Pendulum Game Nobody Can Win #hustle #scam #shortsAdded:
All you have to do is knock the skittle over on the back swing. How hard can it be?
>> Oh, that's pretty wide. That's one.
Oh, that was close. That was close.
All right, you swing much?
Only on the way back.
Oof. So far, nobody's managed to knock the skittle [music] over all morning.
It's impossible to knock the skittle down, no matter how many times you try.
And here's why. The rules state that on the first swing, you must miss the skittle. This makes you swing wide. And because the skittle is placed directly [music] below the axis of the swinging ball, it's physically impossible for it to hit it on the backswing, leaving it standing every time.
