I'm afraid you're underestimating Quinten's skill here... surely he was able to pot more than one red in his opening shot!Originally Posted by Deano82 View Post

Among the answers here on the thread, there are correct answers to all three parts.
Hopefully someone will put all three in a single post!
I see also that some answers have come via PM, which I shall check now..."If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

... and having checked these, snookersfun and Monique have both now sent correct answers (which are also already here on the thread, but spread over more than one post).Originally Posted by davis_greatest View Post"If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

Indeed, abextra!Originally Posted by abextra View PostI'm afraid you're underestimating Quinten's skill here... surely he was able to pot more than one red in his opening shot!
Remember, Deano82, that Quinten is a very strong gorilla - this means that he has tremendous cue power.

If he scored only 22, then Gordon wouldn't need snookers as there are still 22 points on the table after the final green has been potted. So it must be 23.Originally Posted by Deano82 View Post
And yes, he is pretty clever.

Round 305 - Payback time?
In the return match, this time a best-of-7 (first to win 4 frames is the winner), Quinten again potted most of the balls.
In fact, the smallest number of balls that Quinten potted in any frame was still more than the total number of balls that Gordon potted during the whole match!
There were no fouls, no re-racks and no ungentlemanly conduct.
What is the best match score outcome that Gordon could have achieved? (and explain why)Last edited by davis_greatest; 3 February 2008, 09:49 PM. Reason: added requirement to "explain why""If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

Round 305 update - snookersfun has got the correct answer* - well done and congratulations!
Anyone else?
*but I won't mention how many guesses it took**
** mainly because I lost count
