How many points do you need to win a game of table tennis ?

Hello good people!
How are all of you doing?

Today, my 80 year old father was gifted a car. I am so bothered by this it is not even funny! In June, he got into a car accident and totaled his car, the accident was caused by him and he is still in denial about that.... We decided he will no longer be driving, he decided this with me. Now, he's tired of not having his freedom anymore and just doesn't care. I'm scared and worried and I don't know how to stop this or if I can even stop this. What would you all do?
*Sigh*

Hi, Maria.
Who on Earth gifted him a car ????
Can you possibly get them to renage on the offer ?

Oh he knows its out of care and concern, and he doesn't care. He wants what he wants and it is what it is! AHHH!
He also thinks new tags don't cost a thing...
I'm having a hard time with him aging. Its painful to see my dad so fragile... I'm sorry guys, I'm all in my feelers today.

it cant be easy , perhaps a test re sit, the thought being if he heard from the authorities its not advised to drive maby it would help?

Those old folks don't usually get injured in the crashes that they cause.....Unfortunately, I ride motorcycles where he'll be driving. GULP!

Is correct for points!!!!
It used to be 21, but the rules were changed in July 2003 and the score needed reduced to 11 as well as the ball size being increased by 2mm.
Why were these changes made ?

Luckily, I live in a pedestrianized zone.
