I played with that rectangle for the longest time, but don't think the diagonals are actually touching, are they?

I haven't tried with real balls... you may well be rigth there! In which case the rectangle yields only 10.Comment

Rounds 231 & 232 update
Yes, a 3x7 rectangle will of course only give 10 bananas, but snookersfun's example for the 13 bananas is fine. Actually, snookersfun's was the only arrangement I had thought of for 13 bananas, so would like to see if anyone can beat it.Originally Posted by Monique
And the triangle of 6 rows (1,2,3,4,5,6) for 6 plums (or 12 bananas) is of course fine!
Congratulations to Monique and to snookersfun for their entries!"If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

Is it too late for rounds 231 & 232? I have some stupid questions again...
Does it mean that only touching balls score? If there is a ball that doesn't lie in any line - could we just forget it?Originally Posted by davis_greatest
What if I placed 14 balls in one line and the 7 remaining balls so that they don't touch any other ball? May I claim 14 bananas then? And in round 232 I could arrange a line of these 7 balls - will I have 7 plums? Why not?
The cueball has been on my nose all the time...

Not too late!Originally Posted by abextra And your questions aren't stupid
Only touching balls score. If there are any balls that don't lie in a line, you can't just forget them - they'll score 0 points. And that means that you would only be able to claim 0 bananas and 0 plums.Originally Posted by abextra
As above, 7 of your balls would then score 0, so you would get 0 bananas and 0 plums.Originally Posted by abextra
What about the other 14 balls? Where are they?Originally Posted by abextra
Well, that's the most important thing. For that, you get a free orange, on the house.Originally Posted by abextra"If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

For that, you will receive 7 bananas and 7 plums!Originally Posted by abextraHehehe... thanks for the orange... very kind of you!
What if I arrange three separate lines of 7 balls? I still would like to have some bananas and plums!
Congratulations, abextra, for being in the lead with the plums!

So you can put 20 in a line ... and one alone (just one ball is not a lineYou are not allowed to place all 21 balls in just one line! Apart from that, anything goes.)?
for 20 plums?Comment
