Yes, I think it is ... congratulations dantuck_7's PC also!!!

So, is it possible to have two breaks that are at no point equal except for 1-1?

My PC doesn't think so!!!

Dan's PC should get into the hall of fame as well for this one...

Here it is... the scores are equal at 99 points...

Thanks abextra - nice picture!

To keep you occupied while I think of a "proper" question, here is another of those scoreboards made up by my computer...

Round 202 - Treble clearance

It's just as for round 195, but now this scoreboard shows 3 total clearances by Gordon.

Just as previously, when Charlie filled in the scoreboard, he moved around each time colouring a square that touched the square he had previously coloured (moving horizontally, vertically or diagonally). When he began scoring the 2nd (or 3rd) total clearance, he carried on from where he left off, i.e. touching the end of the 1st (or 2nd) total clearance.

Whenever Gordon potted a colour after a red, it was always worth 1 point more than the previous colour he had potted, except of course if the previous colour had been a black.

Below is the final scoreboard.

Please post your answer on the thread! It's all about speed!

abextra, please post your picture to round 201 anyway - doesn't matter any more if the points are equal after Davis's final green!

thanks a lot!!!

Haha - then maybe it's not possible to stop the scores being equal for the whole frame! Perhaps it is just up to Davis's green. Unfortunately I don't still have Monique's or chasmmi's answers to check properly and mine went into the bin long ago.

OK, round closed... congratulations to Monique, abextra, chasmmi and snookersfun!

Hehehe... ,
I'm afraid you're the smartest here, snookersfun, it seems my solution was wrong... oh dear...

[snookersfun]

Ok, I went for lots of pinks in the end, just because of the 'at no point equal' statement (is that in time, after # of balls or what?):

Davis starts out with red brown and takes all the other reds with pinks, while Hendry takes all his reds with pinks except the last one with a black.
So the scores after each of Davis' balls are:
1-0 -1st red
5-1
6-7 -2nd red
oh, that is already cumbersome... never mind, I'll go on:
12-8
13-14 -3rd
19-15
20-21 -4th
26-22
27-28-5th...
...
until
103-99 after the pink with the 15th red
105-106 after Davis' yellow and Hendry's black.

Hopefully

how about (after conferring with Abextra), I try to at least explain, what I think wouldn't work out.
a) 4 points ahead at bold step above apparently wasn't good, as same score after final green of Davis.
b) 1 point ahead (replacing that pink with green, so 100-99), wouldn't work either, as then after final pink of Davis I'd end up equal at 120 points
c) 1 point behind won't work, as I'd reach 6 points difference after the black/yellow story
d) 4 point behind by Davis, kind of perfect for the end, except, I can't reach it

I think snookersfun is giving up! Time to close round 201. abextra, please would you post your picture answer here...

Oh, I don't know what to do...
I would give some more time to snookersfun and Dan (and maybe someone else likes to try), it's really not so hard...

[davis_greatest]

I had my PC looking for a solution - but nothing so far.

Has it got the first red from Davis and the one from Hendry yet? (It's easier without using a computer, I think.)
