108.48.215.61:

The aim method results in an infinite loop/stack overflow, note that ball is an exception of type Ball. This results in a logical flow of aim, "throw," "catch," repeat, though this is only logical by word choice, and is nonsensical from a programming perspective.

Pretty sure the code is also intentionally hard to follow.

I noticed that Ball extends Throwable, but is not a variable. The "Throw Ball" line would either result in a compilation error, or go to the catch statement and cause an infinite loop/stack overflow.

Other than that, it just takes some Java knowledge and patience to understand. I assume it's supposed to be tough to follow at first.
