snooker balls to cover a full size table!

[The Statman]

Cheers Statman, basically then we need 66 full sets of balls to cover one table (22 balls a set) but we only have 22 sets which is 484 ball about 1/3rd of what we need.

Any ones want to send me a set of balls? well do 44 people want to send me a set each lol

No, you'd need 111 sets of balls and you'd only use 10 balls from the last set.

Next question - What design are you going for, guess it's got to be a red background..

As always, a very thorough post but this time I think there is a small mistake in the calculation. One can spot it looking at these pictures showing Statman's solution:



Yes, it's the unnecessary gaps between the double-rows!

If we move the double-rows as close as possible, there is room for another double-row and one more row! It makes a nice table:



The details show that there isn't room for additional balls at the pocket openings:



So my answer is 2633.

Forgive me I been down the pub all night that is where the questions came from to start with, my next question is how much would all the balls weigh and could a snooker table handle that weight?

2633 (thanks csmarkus) x 0.142 = 373.9kg

or, in old money: 822.6lb

or 58 stone and 10.5lb for those of us on this side of the atlantic.

Do you know, as soon as I started reading your post, I realised that I had wronged without going on to read your explanation of it!

You are of course quite right.
