Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[Cyril]

Confusing question but I'm thinking probably, Shaun Murphy & Graeme Dott have won one other ranking event. More than one World Champions have not won another.

[dantuck_7]

Not correct Cyril - any other offers?

[attilahun]

Joe Johnson.
Apart from the World Champ he won the Langs Scottish Masters, a non-ranking event in 1987.
And, of course, the Senior Pot Black in 1997.

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-SEVEN

Which player to have won the World Championship has the least number of other ranking titles to his name?

Okay, The question above could be phrased....

Which player(s) to have won the World Championship has/have the least number of other ranking titles to his name?

[Marc]

could it be Terry griffiths and john spencer?

i dont think they won many ranking events apart from world champs?

[attilahun]

Joe Johnson, Terry Griffiths and John Spencer, all three with 0 ranking events, apart from the World Champs. The diferrence is made on non-ranking events ( Joe has 1, Terry 13 and Spencer 7 ).
I said that on another post earlier that was erased ( just like all posts in a 2 hour interval ).

[Marc]

It could also be Walter Donaldson he won the world champs but he never won any other ranking event

[dantuck_7]

Yep they are the correct three names. Hopefully no-one elses answers were deleted.

As for any earlier World Champions - it comes down to whether the titles that they won were classed as ranking events or not. When Walter Donaldson won were there many other ranking events apart from the world chapionship?

For example the UK championship wasn't a ranking event when Terry Griifiths won it. Seems a bit unlucky for his record.

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-EIGHT
Anyone?

[The Statman]

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-EIGHT

Which is the only 'spot' used in snooker, which is never used in billiards?

[davis_greatest]

blue?

[Marc]

pink?

[dantuck_7]

spot on the cue-ball?

[The Statman]

spot on the cue-ball?

Wrong way round, methinks!

The reason I put the word spot ininverted commas is that, actually, the yellow and green sit on the corners of the D and do not need a 'spot' as such.
