    Ah well, maybe. That's up to them though, and I think we're talking theoretical rather than real life. It could happen, it just probably never will.

      Where does it say that the breaks have to be made by the same player, anyway? Why can't player A make a break of 56, then player B make a break of 56, and then either player make a break of 56?

        • Congratulations Robert602. 56 is the answer I was looking for – in exactly the way you described.

                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

                  thats 4 for a start, and the U's may not be finished

                  if the statman is on before me, then i would suggest going by his calculations if im not online to give points to whoever is correct first. (thats if he doesnt mind....just trying not to get stuck on something.....)

                          The question made no mention of counting someone more than once if they'd been in more than one final.

                              ROUND FORTY-EIGHT

                              Joe Perry would beat Andy Hicks 26-9
                              Steve Davis would beat Peter Ebdon 23-21
                              Mark Williams would beat Graeme Dott 36-11
                              John Higgins would beat Ken Doherty 18-15

                              I have based the above results on the players' names. What exactly is the link between the names and the scores?

                              • Numerical value of the first letters of the first name and surname added together, ie:

                                Joe Perry = J + P = 10 + 16 = 26
                                Andy Hicks = A + H = 1 + 8 = 9

                                ?
