    Snooker's Biggest Quiz

    OK Here it is!

    A few ground rules, which apply to every round unless explicitly stated by the questionmaster:

    1) You may post only one answer in a single message
    2) After you have guessed, you must wait for another message (by someone else) to appear before your next guess.
    3) You must wait for the current questionmaster to confirm the correct answer, and update the scoreboard, before starting the next question.

    ROUND ONE

    If I listed all the players who have reached at least one ranking quarter-final, in alphabetical order, which player would be first?

    Are they listed by surname? I'll say Nigel Bond.
    You play a long slow deadweight red to a corner pocket. As it approaches the pocket, a kamikaze woodlouse crawls out from under the cushion and makes its way across the table, conflicting with the path of the red precisely at the point the red gets there. The red, needless to say, veers off course, and the future of the woodlouse is uncertain. - The Statman

      Aaron Aimish Aaghason the First?
      "If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."
      David Taylor, 11 January 1982, as Steve Davis prepared to pot the blue, in making the first 147 break on television.

        Yes they are listed by surname.

        No it is not Nigel Bond.

          Hugh Abernethy?

            Good answer sf – he is indeed the very first snooker player (so to speak).

            But he has never reached a ranking quarter.

                  Congratulations snookersfun.

                  Shokat Ali is the correct answer; he was quarter-finalist in the 2001 Thailand Masters.

                  So here is the scoreboard after round 1:

                  Pos. . . . . . . . Points . . . . . . Name
                  1 . . . . . . . . . . 1 . . . . . . . . snookersfun

                  ROUND TWO

                  ...and who would be last on the list?

                          Congratulations Mitsuko.

                          Jim Wych it is.

                          So here is the scoreboard after round 2:

                          Pos. . . . . . . . Points . . . . . . Name
                          1 . . . . . . . . . . 1 . . . . . . . . Mitsuko
                          2 . . . . . . . . . . 1 . . . . . . . . snookersfun

                          (Just to clarify, there are no tied positions. If you get a point, you move straight to the top of your new points total.)

                          ROUND THREE

                          I am thinking of a player. Here is the first clue:

                          I have reached eleven Crucible quarter-finals.

                          Another clue will follow if necessary.
