Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[Robert602]

With your excellent Almanac now safely in my possession, I think I could comfortably answer these - but I think that would maybe be rather unfair / cheating .... would it?

It would be cheating, absolutely. Wouldn't be at all unethical to tell me whether I'm close though.


Seriously, I never know whether it's considered ok to look these things up. I don't have the almanac (yet) but snooker.org is often a possibility. Should it all be from memory?

Is the solution to my ethical dilemma to use hidden text, so others can have a go but I still get the point?

( a) 1998, b) 2000, c) 1998 )

New names for the scoreboard are particularly welcome, especially those lower in the alphabet than mine!

Would that help you? Wouldn't any right answer go ahead of you anyway???

Balls, you're right.

So basically I'll be bottom of the list forever, until I move up to 2! Perhaps I should award myself ⅛ of a point!

[The Statman]

Or wait till someone gets a ½ on its own...

[snookersfun]

.... oh no, not fractions again No, no, you will simply have to get an answer right (bit difficult if you are the quizmaster most of the time). Hey, make a second list (# of questions asked, you'll lead that one!)
you are on here late, aren't you?

[Cessy143]

Changed my mind. I'll now go for.....

a) 1999
b) 1999
c) 1998

[snookersfun]

1998
2000
1998

[The Statman]

Congratulations snookersfun. The full answer is as follows:

1998, the average age of all 32 players was 27 years, 168 days.
2000, the finalists' combined age was 47 years and 254 days.
1998, the semi-finalsist' combined age was 97 years 44 days (the only time they totalled less than 100 years).

So here is the scoreboard after Round 31:
