Thanks muchly, I think

[snookersfun]

Good question - I will amend the wording now to clarify it. What was intended is that, after potting a colour into any pocket except the yellow one, the pink and black pockets are out of bounds when potting the next colour. So, it is permissible to pot the first colour into the pink or black pocket.

oops, avoided starting with pink or black, think had 194 that way,
so must be 196 now??? Hopefully?

[davis_greatest]

I am trying to decide what is the current highest bid. It is either "192" or "196 now??? Hopefully?"

Either way, higher is possible!

197 then

[abextra]

abextra's bid, by the way, is 192 slaps (but wasn't starting with a pink or black pocket for first colour, so surely she can improve it now after the edit to d(ii))

Thank you, D_G, I better stay at my 192... ...

For round 365, answers can now go up on the thread with the bids!

[snookersfun]

Thank you, D_G, I better stay at my 192... ... can't beat Snookersfun's 197 anyway. :snooker:

can't beat nor match my 197 either for now
so, back to 196 it is!

Lol, :snooker: could I see your 194 starting from the yellow pocket, please?

yes! Let's ease in slowly
Baring more blunders, here it is:

pink-yellow=6
black-black=14
blue-blue=10
green-green=6
pink-yellow=6
black-black=14
blue-blue=10
green-green=6
pink-yellow=6
black-black=14
blue-blue=10
green-green=6
pink-yellow=6
black-black=14
blue-blue=10
_____________
………………=138

15 reds=15

yellow-brown=2
green-green=6
brown-brown=8
blue-green=5
pink-yellow=6
black-black=14
_____________
………………..=41

All together 138+15+41=194

So, are we looking for 197 or above?

Thank you, Snookersfun!

Everything above 196 would do for starters, I guess.

[moglet]

Would this do for 197?

something loose in my head had made me exclude same pocket after only a pot differencefacepalm.gif

[abextra]

Yep, Moglet, looks great, very well done!

If this is the maximum, the quiz meister is yet to pronounce , why does it take so long to find? It looks easy when the sequence is complete in front of you.
