    Player A pots free ball with a black as the colour, then the remaining 14 reds with blacks and all the colours, break=147. Is this a maximum?
    I would not say so. That is the same as example (a) in the opening post of this thread:

      The maximum score a player can make in a break is 155.

      I must be the only one here who went to school and learned what the word maximum means.

        In Scenario C Player 1 never had the opportunity to get 155.
        You play a long slow deadweight red to a corner pocket. As it approaches the pocket, a kamikaze woodlouse crawls out from under the cushion and makes its way across the table, conflicting with the path of the red precisely at the point the red gets there. The red, needless to say, veers off course, and the future of the woodlouse is uncertain. - The Statman

          You were probably also taught the meaning of the word 'colour' and are puzzled that a red does not count as a colour in snooker!

            ... and puzzled that when a player completes a break, nothing is snapped in half or damaged!

                Not to mention that the black does count as a colour. I mean really the number of fouls that go unnoticed when a player instead of potting a colour go and intentionally hit the black ball.

                  i'm not puzzled at all, the red is a colour and always has been. Most likely somewhere along the time line the word 'other' when refering to the other coloured balls was dropped either in the rules or the press and was never corrected.

                    It was definately. No local snooker hall would let me in during school hours so I actually went to school. I'd gladly swop my iq with my highest break number now though.
