How do you bowl a 37?

I took Isa bowling when we were in Lake Tahoe. I strongly suggested that she not use the bumpers. She was amenable to the idea--she was five hundred miles from home, there were no peers around and the stakes were low. She bowled a 44, and we celebrated wildly. But I expect more from someone who wants to be President.

Basketball skills have nothing to do with bowling skills.

> How do you bowl a 37?

Six frames of five pins each, and one frame of seven pins.

or

A strike followed by a spare followed by a half frame of three pins with four pins anywhere after that.

or

Seven pins in the first frame, followed immediately by two strikes, followed by all gutter balls.

There may be other ways of achieving 37 as well, but I can't prove it.
