What is the highest possible score you could get in a game of bowling without throwing at least one strike?

Answer 1

189 ... the bowler would get nine pins on every first ball and make each spare. The fill ball in the tenth frame would also knock down nine pins. http://euler.slu.edu/~johnson/files/maths/Bowling.pdf

Answer 2

190

If you throw a spare in the first frame (doesn't matter the count of the first ball) then throw 9 spare for the rest of the game in each frame with a 9 on your final ball in the 10th your score would be 190. The highest score without throwing a strike.

Answer 3

That would be 9/ 9/ 9/ 9/ 9/ 9/ 9/ 9/ 9/ 9/9 Which would amount to 190.
