volley - the return of the ball before it hits the ground

So you know you have to hit the table, but you don't know if you could return the ball w/o hitting the table? How does that make any sense...

Well, it could be OK to do that, but you wouldn't get any points...

Too bad all my solutions were based on okay meaning you'd get points if you did it

To get the point you have to hit the table. In that ORDER: R, L, R, L, R, L and so on.
I thought it is clear..and has been said three times:) Cause it is a table tenis:))
English isn't prime language, if i did a mistake - i'm sorry...

No need to be mean!

Answer: No. If you volley the ball (hit it prior to its bounce) over the table surface you lose the point. If you try to volley the ball after it has missed the table, the point is yours as your opponent failed to make a legal return.

So, ioncorpse explained it fine

And the winner is ...... myself, with one point.
Joke

Just want to say that i still didn't receive any solution, you have two days and maybe you will win even with 3 points...
This level was too hard for you or what?

Try the 'undo trick';

Load the faulty solution, place some material, then use 'undo' and it should fix itself.

Historically, solutions which need to be 'undo-tricked' have been accepted, as long as you let the contest host know what to do.
