R327 ... Rocket Radio and a break ....

Gwendoline is practising hard on snooker to catch up with Charlie, Oliver and Gordon. Charlie is coaching her, keeping the scores and entertaining her with some music

Today he has chosen a CD were he has recorded the radio program by Rollie on DragonFM and here is the play list

Rollie's playlist:

1 Garbage - Stupid Girl
2 Eurythmics - Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves
3 Deacon Blue - Real Gone Kid
4 Rod Stewart - Maggie May
5 Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight
6 Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer
7 Oasis - Wonderwall
8 Stereophonics - Handbags And Gladrags
9 Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar
10 Womack And Womack - Teardrops
11 Eagles - Take It Easy
12 Eric Clapton - I Shot The Sheriff
13 Soul II Soul - Back To Life
14 Queen - I Want To Break Free
15 Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
16 Paolo Nutini - New Shoes
17 Black Eyed Peas - Where Is The Love
18 U2 - Where the Streets Have No Name
19 Madness - House Of Fun
20 Eminem - Stan
21 Fleetwood Mac - Little Lies
22 Eddy Grant - I Don't Wanna Dance
23 Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell
24 Bruce Springsteen - Dancing In The Dark

Charlie starts the music as soon as Gwen has potted the first ball, playing the first tune, "Stupid Girl" ...
Then at the end of each song he choses the next one just by selecting the number corresponding to the score Gwen made while the previous one was playing. So if she scored 5 while "Stupid Girl" was playing, Charlie would play "In The Air Tonight" ...

Gwen makes a total clearance ... trying her best to score as high as she can, then listened to the last well deserved tune

What is Gwen's break? and give a possible "music program" she might have enjoyed knowing that she hasn't listened twice to the same tune ...

R328 - Barry B

Barry the Baboon is all excited by his new idea: he wants to launch a new snooker event sponsored by his well known and highly succesfull shop!

He's explaining the whole thing to Charlie

Look ... I want the tournie to run over several days. Each day the players would be arranged in groups of 4 and each group would play a round-robin, each match being 4 frames. It would be like that other event, you know, organised by that other Barry ... shotclock and big incentive for frames won and centuries... and... Yes, and, of course the groups would be rearranged dayly so that all players would be in action every day and at the end of the event each player would have played every other player once and only once. That's fair isn't it? And well ... I'd like to invite the full top 16 and 8 wildcards and ...and ...

Impossible! Forget about it!

exclaims Charlie. Why?

R329 ... 2008 World Chimpion

Rollie O'Sunnyman just won the 2008 Chimps&Bonobo World Chimpionship, withewashing an out-of-form Charlie.
It was quite a remarkable match. Rollie's points score increased frame after frame and he made a century taking all the colours in every frame but the first one. Moreover the total of points scored was exactly the same in each frame, and the points scored by both players were all prime numbers.
There was just one foul, made by Charlie in the second frame, during the whole match and Rollie's highest break was 139…

What is the final score of that match and what are the points scored for each frame, knowing that the total number of points scored in each frame is the highest possible under the conditions?

Post-match press conference summary:

Charlie was gutted. He said Rollie was sooooooo terribly slow he got bored and couldn't handle the situation. He was also hungry and the sight of the trophy, nicely on display, was making things worse and got the better of him. It's a shame really said Charlie because this is also a team event and until the Final the Chimps and the Bonobos were tied up each team having won the same number of matches.

Rollie who was playing for the Bonobo team was delighted to win this title. "That's one my good old rival Henry Steven never got!" he said smiling broadly. He also confessed he would share the trophy with his team mates … but couldn't resist taking a bite at it on the spot!
