Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[davis_greatest]

Wow! An advanced Super-Picture-Quiz! I see the benefits of this new board already!

Unfortunately, as I can't fly (despite several attempts) I couldn't possibly hazzard a guess! I recognise 1 and 3 and thats about it!

We still could have had this question on the BBC board with The Statman's superlative ASCII drawing skills.

A good effort, but I can confirm that this is NOT a fully correct answer.

Can anyone else (or you, of course) correct this answer?

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE

I had a really good one but I've forgotten it!

Unless someone steps in as questionmaster in the interim, I will ask it when I remember it!

was it about venues? I could swear i got an email announcing you giving a venue question but its not here so i am scared i am imagining quiz questions.

[chasmmi]

I am on here at the wrong times for interacitve quizzing so i have to post questions which take a while to complete so i can comew back one a day or so,

[Lindea]

I didnt have the matchroom league and scottish championships for the first one and you have now corrected the other two answers to my liking.

4 was the wrong you had got wrong and yes the answer is in fact a few hours.

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE BY ... NOT ME

[chasmmi]

I didnt have the matchroom league and scottish championships for the first one and you have now corrected the other two answers to my liking.

4 was the wrong you had got wrong and yes the answer is in fact a few hours.

have a point

[Lindea]

I think I've might have the right answer for the other question I had wrong.

4) What is the Shortest Period of time without one in the last twenty years?
(according to the data I've found John Higgins An dStephen Maguire both made a 147 on March 24th 2000.)

so that would be 0 days
