Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[The Statman]

You are missing a seventh which would almost always be added in the situation you describe...

The point will go to the person who identifies the final statement of the referee.

[Alex0paul]

Please nominate?

[Mitsuko]

Toilet break?

[The Statman]

Congratulations Alex0paul. The referee would also state "please nominate" if he was calling a touching ball, since with a free ball any ball could be legally hit. I said 'almost always' thinking only if it was touching a colour, but of course it would be 'always' – even if touching a red.

So here is the scoreboard after Round 34:

ROUND THIRTY SIX

Anyone else? as my rounds seem to be very easy

[The Statman]

ROUND THIRTY-SIX

Mark King, of course, made his Crucible début four years earlier, in 1994.

What two items were depicted on his waistcoat in 1994? They are two characters that you can probably see if you glance down at your keyboard....

[Mitsuko]

Arggggh why did I have to try and make my answer funny

[Alex0paul]

Was it the & and the @

[Mitsuko]

# and @
_________

[The Statman]

My access runs out in five minutes but I'll be back at five o'clock.

None of them so far though.
