    I'm sure it's a potato now as one clue was chip on shoulder and another one was musorebut munalos which is solanum tuberosum reversed (perhaps a Latin word for potato) and also the name of poisoning you get from eating some raw potatoes.

    Tough question, but fun!

      Sorry, I had to go for a while.

      Congratulations Mal! They used a potato as the cue ball - although, why, I do not know!

      So here is the scoreboard after round 261

        I bet all eyes were on them!

        ROUND TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY-TWO

        How many players have reached at least one ranking quarter-final, as at today's date, i.e. after the 2008 China Open?

        I'll let it lie for a bit and give a higher than/lower than to the closest answers either side.

          Yes, Latin for potato. The first clue, though, came in post 3039, although it was a less obvious one!
