    • While rambon perfects his question, I'll interject and steal the honour of posing round 150 (although I didn't invent this one )....

      Divide this large square into smaller squares, so that each square you form contains exactly one red snooker ball.

      • Round 150 clarification

        I've been asked a few questions on round 150 - it's only fair that everyone has the same answers, so I'll post the questions and responses here...

        did you put in all the necessary balls?...
        Well, I bloody well hope so.

        Can there be overlapping squares?
        Of course not, silly! What kind of squares would they be?

        It is one and only one ball each, isn't it?
        Yes, one, 1, eine.

        19 balls=19 squares?
        Superbly worked out.

        (I've anonymised the questions in case snookersfun doesn't want everyone to know who asked them.)

                  • OK, let's do a quick update:

                    The April fools puzzle was solved by d_g and Monique now. Well done! Anybody else? It is not soooo difficult.

                    I hope the other one will be attacked/solved by somebody eventually (good idea for between session entertainment!).

                    • Round 153

                      ROUND 153

                      http://www.thesnookerforum.com/photo...ndex.php?n=275

                      While everyone finishes (or starts) on R151 and R152 have a look at the above image. There is a pattern in there somewhere - any idea why some cells are shaded and some are not?

                      Answers by PM please.

                      Dan.

                                I'm looking it at - not sure I'm getting anywhere?

                                With regard to R153 - I have had some interesting answers, the best of which was whether it was meant to be results from a round-robin event!

                                This might help you out a bit:-

                                Try numbering the grid from the center.
