ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY

Hey all, I borrowed DGE's computer and found the list of players shown below. However I accidently deleted three of the names. If anybody can help me put the names back in the right places, I will give them a point.

P.S As I don't quite understand DGE's system here I need you to explain to me why each name goes where as I need to know if i can trust your data when I return it to the eagle eye of of Mr D.

Hendry
Davis
White
J. Higgins
Williams
Doherty
Ebdon
Reardon
Griffiths
A. Higgins
Taylor
Johnson
Stevens
Dott
Spencer
Parrott
Murphy
Mans
Selby
Mountjoy

[The Statman]

I think I know the names (which, when written alphabetically, end in D, N and N respectively) but not where they go. I thing the one ending in D might go to the very bottom of the list.

Crucible finalist in descending order by how many frames they've won in the finals (if a tie the one who's lost the least number of frames)

[Lee Vilenski]

Surely it's the number of Finals won, then Frames won...

[rambon]

Surely it's the number of Finals won, then Frames won...

Jimmy White would be way down that list, not in third...

[dantuck_7]

Have done a quick check with the data I have:

Hendry 155
Davis 137
White 75
J. Higgins 50
Williams 47
Doherty 46
Thorburn 45

Quite amazing - 75 frames won by White in world finals! If only it had been 85...

[chasmmi]

Well Congratulations Lindea for the correct order and Statman for the correct reason and getting two out of three right. Therefore I will give 1 point to Lindea and 1/2 to Statman.

Out of interest the list looks like thus:

Hendry 155
Davis 137
White 75
J. Higgins 50
Williams 47
Doherty 46
Thorburn 45
Ebdon 44
Reardon 40
Sullivan 36

A. Higgins 34

Quite amazing - 75 frames won by White in world finals! If only it had been 85...

Even 76 would have been enough!

[lagermike]

Even 76 would have been enough!

Not if he had won that 76th frame in 1993!

If only it had been 104 frames!! We would be sitting here talking about Jimmy White - 6 time world champion as possibly the greatest player of all time!

He would be ahead of Steve Davis on 5 and Stephen Hendry on just 3!!

(Admittedly that is a big, if not massive, if only, but one can daydream!)

(Admittedly that is a big, if not massive, if only, but one can daydream!)

104 frames? So, perhaps two wins and four 18-17 defeats? Marvellous!

... and imagine if Hugh Abernathy were on that list with 234 frames? We would be sitting here talking about Hugh Abernathy - 13 time world champion as the greatest player of all time!

[rambon]

IF my Auntie had balls she'd be my Uncle...

... on which note, let's move on:

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY ONE

I have been updating my list of pairs of opposite snooker players. I have to update it, as it changes over time.

For example, Joe Swail's opposite last year was different from his opposite 3 years previously. The last opposite of Steve Davis was Neal Foulds. Who had been Steve Davis's opposite previously?
