Pocket 1. 4 x Red + Yellow = 6
Pocket 2. Black = 7
Pocket 3. Green + 4 x Red = 7
Pocket 4. Pink + Red = 7
Pocket 5. Blue + 3 x Red = 8
Pocket 6. Brown + 3 x Red = 7

OK... nearly enough for the Hall of Frame entry ... but which pockets are the top pockets and which are the bottom ones? (Remember they must balance.)

Round 301 - Snooker Line-up I

Take a set of snooker balls (excluding the cue ball) - 15 reds and the six colours - and lay them on a snooker table wherever you wish. For every appearance of three of more touching balls in a straight line, it is called a Line.

The value of a Line is the total points of the balls it contains.
For example, if yellow, brown and blue are in line, that Line is worth 2+4+5 = 11.

Add up the scores from all your Lines, and post here your highest bid.

---------------------------------------------


Round 302 - Snooker Line-up II

As above, but this time the value of a Line is the total points of the balls it contains, multiplied by the value of the smallest scoring ball in the Line.

For example:
- if yellow, brown and blue are in line, that Line is worth (2+4+5) x 2 = 11 x 2 = 22.
- if yellow, brown, blue and 2 reds are in line, that Line is worth (2+4+5+1+1) x 1 = 13 x 1 = 13.

Post here your highest bid.

Note - you are not allowed to have more than one Line in line! For example, if you have 4 touching balls in a straight line, that counts as a Line of four balls - you cannot divide it into two Lines of three.

Remember, bids on the thread please (not by Private Message) for the highest score you can get (and please state which round you are answering).

with a bit of sleep ive come up with 115248 ?

Yes.... 115248 is the highest possible Score, which you get by having individual pocket scores of 7,7,7,7,6 and 8 (it is not possible to make every pocket score be 7). Congratulations.

Please explain which balls go in each pocket and you will be admitted to the Puzzles with numbers and things Hall of Frame!

A little bit higher score is possible... ... keep on trying!

Yes, a bit higher is possible, Deano. Hint: to get the highest Score possible, try to make the individual scores for each pocket as similar as possible.

Meanwhile (or rather, nearly 24 hours ago, but I was slow to read it), Monique has sent the highest possible Score to me by private message, so congratulations too!

i think its 102400
and i can show the workings out
