Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[The Statman]

Well that was a bit of fun! I'll cancel this question and give what I think is the answer, which is 51:

Starting with 7 Reds: 1
7 Reds

Starting with 5 Reds: 1
5 Reds-Yellow

Starting with 4 Reds: 2
4 Reds-Green
4 Reds-Yellow-Red

Starting with 3 Reds: 4
3 Reds-Brown
3 Reds-Green-Red
3 Reds-Yellow-2 Reds
3 Reds-Yellow-Yellow

Starting with 2 Reds: 6
2 Reds-Blue
2 Reds-Brown-Red
2 Reds-Green-2 Reds
2 Reds-Green-Yellow
2 Reds-Yellow-3 Reds
2 Reds-Yellow-Red-Yellow

Starting with Red: 10
Red-Pink
Red-Blue-Red
Red-Brown-2 Reds
Red-Brown-Yellow *
Red-Green-3 Reds
Red-Green-Red-Yellow
Red-Yellow-4 Reds
Red-Yellow-2 Reds-Yellow
Red-Yellow-Red-Green
Red-Yellow-Red-Yellow-Red

That’s 24 methods, each of which could start with one Red as a free ball – EXCEPT the one marked * – so that’s 47.

Then.......

Starting with colours: 4
Free-ball Yellow-real Yellow-Green
Green-Brown
Free-ball Green (where real Green is also potted)-Brown
Black

So the total is 51.

ROUND FORTY-FOUR

...anyone?

[snookersfun]

cheeky, cheeky... well done
I forgot nearly all the color options and would have never gotten some of your last ones.
But we did come close, didn't we

How about doing an easy fun round, like name 2 songtitles or group/singer names each that contain each of the snooker colors. (Names have to be backed up by references, where unknown). Example, if there was a purple ball- purple haze.

[The Statman]

Simply Red
Yellow Submarine
Al Green ????
Golden Brown
Blue Moon
Pink (the band)
Black (the band who recorded Wonderful Life)

[snookersfun]

[Robert602]

Simply Red, Red Hot Chillis
Yellow Submarine (beatles), Yellow (coldplay)
Green Door (Jim Lowe), Green Day
Golden Brown (Stranglers), Brown Sugar (Rolling Stones)
Blue Suede Shoes (Elvis), Blue (the band, or the song)
Pink (the band), Pink Floyd
Paint it Black (Stones), Black Sabbath

Congratulations Robert602. I think, even I can place most of the names. Actually I heard 'Yellow' (great song) this morning on the radio and got the idea for a question. It was a bit easy, but we always have Statman to raise the level!

ROUND FORTY-SIX to follow

[The Statman]

ROUND FORTY-SIX

I know we've had this before, but...

What is the highest break that can be made three times in one frame of snooker?

Re-rack does not count, because points scored before a re-rack are not carried over.

[Robert602]

56?
7 red blacks (first red a free ball), twice, then free ball red, brown, red black red black red black and all the colours.

[Alex0paul]

36 or 38 with a free ball situation?

[snookersfun]

44? just guessing

[davis_greatest]

Well I can't find anything wrong with robert's answer of 56...

[Mr Snooker]

Shokat Ali of Pakistan if you mean rankings events if not it will be Hugh Abernethy for the Masters Chapionship

[Alex0paul]

Shokat Ali of Pakistan if you mean rankings events if not it will be Hugh Abernethy for the Masters Chapionship

I don't think a break of Shokat Ali can be made three times in a frame mrsnooker.

[Alex0paul]

Well I can't find anything wrong with robert's answer of 56...

Surely after two breaks of 56 the opponent would concede therefore not allowing the third 56 to be made?
