Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[Monique]

He did not pot a single black ball to do it ?

[pat39]

It was a total clearance and only potting yellows, greens and browns in the process.

[davis_greatest]

Monique is closest - I would say halfway there! pat39 also warm - except it is not possible to have a total clearance potting only yellows, greens and browns

[Monique]

He did not pot any black or pink ball in the process? (wild guess )

[davis_greatest]

Congratulations Monique! That is the correct answer.

So here is the scoreboard after round 246

ROUND TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY-SEVEN

...anyone?

ROUND TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY-SEVEN

Why did referee John Smyth not ask for the removal of the person who had an alarm clock ring during the 1981 World Team Cup match between John Spencer and Paddy Morgan, disturbing their concentration, or even issue a warning to that individual?

[Shaggy365]

Was it one of the players? Or even the referee?

[davis_greatest]

Was it one of the players? Or even the referee?

Yes, congratulations, and welcome to the scoreboard!

The owner of the interjecting clock was Smyth himself. He had been out to buy it a new battery that morning and had forgotten that he had put the clock in his jacket pocket.

So here is the scoreboard after round 247

ROUND TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY-EIGHT

...anyone?

[Shaggy365]

OK. I'll ask one then.

When Cliff Thorburn made his 147 in the World Snooker Championships in 1983, the play was stopped on the other table. Who were the two players who temporarily halted their game?

[Alex0paul]

Bill Werbeniuk and David Taylor?

[Shaggy365]

Dear me, it doesn't take long does it?
