Puzzles with numbers and things

[abextra]

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?

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! )

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

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

[moglet]

Whoops! have to rethink 354

[abextra]

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!

[moglet]

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

[snookersfun]

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

[snookersfun]

...and 207 slaps for R. 355

[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

[moglet]

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

[davis_greatest]

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]

R354, I'm going to stick with 200.
Pink into pink, blue into yellow, black into black, green into green, brown into brown, black into black, green into green, brown into brown, black into black,
green into green, brown into brown, black into black, green into green, blue into blue, pink into pink...... yellow into yellow, green into green brown into brown, blue into yellow, pink into pink, and black into blue.

Too to go on....
