Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[The Statman]

Nah. Don't like it. I'm still last

[The Statman]

I sense PaulTheSoave is about to post an answer....

A reminder of the question again:

ROUND TWENTY-SEVE, what was unuusual about the table used for the very first World Championship match, between Inman and Newman?

[snookersfun]

blue cloth?????

[The Statman]

NO it was not a 10×5 table (indeed, it was not unusually small)

NO it did not have a blue cloth (indeed, it was nothing other than green)

[snookersfun]

was it lower?

[PaulTheSoave]

They played with 3 inch pockets instead of 3.5 inch

*************INTERMEZZO********************

How do you find my new picture?

[The Statman]

Congratulations Paul. Not quite, but enough for the point. They played on an experimental table with 3¼ rather than 3½-inch pockets.

So here is the scoreboard after Round 28:

ROUND TWENTY-NINE

[Nugget]

Nice pic Paul, secretly your fav player I think
And why not, he's the best so I've heard, admittedly from himself though

[The Statman]

ROUND TWENTY-NINE

Which player has the unfortunate Crucible highest break of 99?

[April madness]

just guessing - Andy Hicks?

[Alex0paul]

Mike Dunn??

[The Statman]

Nope.

Andy Hicks is 136 (which rhymes)
Mike Dunn is 81 (which also rhymes, but is not true – it's 83!)

[Alex0paul]

Is the player in question still on the main tour?

[April madness]

Mick Price?
