Puzzles with numbers and things

Thanks for all the bids so far, abextra, moglet and snookersfun.

Please now put your slaps (which ball into which pocket) up on the thread!

[moglet]

I have 201 clouts for Grotty in R354, can't make snookerfun's possible 202

[snookersfun]

...and 207 slaps for R. 355

and if I haven't yet confused myself totally, it looks like 208 even
edit: I have, as there was a reason that didn't work, so back to the 207

[snookersfun]

...and 207 slaps for R. 355

[snookersfun]

no points for speed, but possibly 202 points for R. 354

[moglet]

Yes, still good for 354, need sleep before I can go further....

[davis_greatest]

201 slaps for R 354 - and running out of ideas.

Another nice bid, abextra! :snooker: The first to hit 200 slaps for that round! (I think moglet has retracted his 200?)

More slaps are possible though, for both rounds 354 and 355, so keep the bids coming!

Whoops! have to rethink 354

[moglet]

I can give Grotty 200 clouts for round 354....
Working on R355

Very good, abextra! Still one or both of these bids can be beaten. :snooker:

[abextra]

That is correct. So in round 354, for example, after potting a colour into the green pocket, the following colour may not be potted into the green, pink or black pocket. The brown, blue and yellow pockets would all be allowed.

Very good. Then I guess I can bid

Round 354 - 198 points/slaps
Round 355 - 206 points/slaps

(not that I have something against Damon Grott! )

Thank you, DG!

May I ask (just to be sure I haven't misunderstood the rules):

(e) Whenever a colour has been potted into a centre pocket, the following colour can be potted neither into that pocket nor into the next two pockets moving clockwise around the table.

does it mean after a colour was potted into the green pocket, the next colour is allowed to be potted into the brown pocket?

Excellent bids to rounds 354 and 355, abextra! Thank you. And extra marks for speed.

They can both be beaten though. Any advance?
