Wouldn't that give you 11 bananas and 21 (not 22) pineapples though?Originally Posted by abextraI'm still not sure... maybe I've misunderstood completely... ...what about something in shape of "T" or "L" or "X", eleven balls in a row?"If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

Round 239 - Peaches and Cream
Just like in recent rounds (231, 232, 234, 236 and 238), lay out the 21 snooker balls and remember that you get bananas for your lowest scoring ball and pineapples for your highest scoring ball. You can now lay the balls wherever you want on the bed of the table - but the only restriction this time is that you cannot have any ball lying on its own (i.e. every ball must touch at least one other).
You can now claim a number of peaches equal to the difference between your number of bananas and number of pineapples. E.g. if you have 3 bananas and 5 pineapples you will get 2 peaches.
How many peaches do you wish to claim?
(bid as high as you can)"If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

How is it going?

OK, tiny hint, but you probably all figured that out already by now:
A good start is that '9' line, which (together with the lines above and below) will point to the respective clusters and their position 'y-axis' wise in that area.
...and in case it gets too frustrating I'll put up the next 'easy' round now for in between (while I'll go off floating in the Dead Sea for the rest of the day, so have fun all of you).
If anybody (except Monique and Abextra for now) feels like putting the previous 2 cluster things up (triangles and rectangles), please do

brain vacations:
Round 240: weighted ships (yeah back to ships, or for those more comfortable with snooker terms, lineups of balls)
10x10 usual grid and fleet (but this time the ship segments are weighted differently, depending on to which kind of ship they belong). So the numbers on the side reveal the total weight of all ship segments in the respective row or column.
