correct :clap:

Too easy, here's another one.......


The points are level with just the pink and black left on the table. The pink is in the middle of the table and the black is right in the jaws of the corner pocket, so close that it cannot be missed.
Player A pots the pinks, and yet does not win the frame.
Player A does not commit a foul, nor does he concede and he doesn't drop dead!!!

How does Player B win the frame?

He misses the black?

And player B pots the black, I've seen people miss balls hanging over a pocket before !

Someone from the audience streaks onto the table and pushes the black into the pocket. The black is respotted. Player A plays for it, misses it. Player B pots the black and wins by 1 point.

The point being I don't think the referee can put the black back over the pocket unless a foul and a miss has occured and the other player wants the shot retaken?

Where's Jan Verhaas when you need him :razz:

When i worked at the Home Office, they had two championship tables down in the basement, 50p an hour it was. We used to play most lunchtimes and evenings, my biggest break on those tables was around 18-20, god those pockets were tight.

Then playing on a club table down the Chequers in Dagenham i used to be able to knock in 40+ quite regularly. Great days but a ramshackle hovel of a club, fights every night, fruities getting turned over and ripped tables. Had a manky kebab shop next door too, used to serve up horseburgers to all hours.

here's a little snooker teaser for you all to try and work out...


What's the lowest total aggregate score in one frame of
snooker between 2 players?
A clue.... it's highly improbable.

Rep for whoever works it out first


I can't remember the score, but my mate and I did it one Saturday afternoon, he always used to thrash the arse off me so I played for safety, potting a red with him alternatively, no colours at all, then the colours went down singly as well, I got the black to win and get a load of bragging rights.

Edit:
Well that's what we did, but obviously not the lowest score.

not quite the same as the solution.

OK, no one's biting, so here's the answer....

Player A pots the pink and the cue ball comes to rest on the black but doesn't knock it in. The ref calls 'touching ball', he then has no choice but to play away, leaving Player B with a simple tap in.

Couldn't he play it up the table and back down again? I used to practise that shot all the time, off 4 cushions.
