      • Oh I didn't see this sorry,

        I make that 9 out of twelve but if you can give me the reason to suggest 7 and 8 are correct then it will be 11 out of 12 and seeing the lack of interest in the question enough for the point.

        • First I’d like to make it 9 who won the event and 7 who were runner-up

          Winners:
          John Rea - 1989 Scottish Professional Championship
          Stephen Hendry - 1992 Matchroom League
          Stephen Hendry - 1995 World Championship
          Stephen Hendry - 1995 UK Championship
          Stephen Hendry - 1997 Liverpool Victoria Charity Challenge
          John Higgins - 2000 Irish Masters
          Ronnie O’Sullivan - 2000 Regal Scottish Open
          Stephen Hendry - 2001 Malta Grand Prix
          Stuart Bingham - 2005 B & H Championship (I wasn’t sure whether this one counts as a win as it’s a qualifying event but I counted it in as you say that he won the event)

          Runner-Ups:
          Steve Davis – 1982 Lada Classic
          Cliff Thorburn – 1983 World Championship
          James Wattana – 1992 British Open
          Jimmy White – 1992 World Championship
          John Higgins – 2003 LG Cup
          David Gray – 2004 UK Championship
          Jamie Cope – 2006 Grand Prix

          • I think I've might have the right answer for the other question I had wrong.

            4) What is the Shortest Period of time without one in the last twenty years?
            (according to the data I've found John Higgins An dStephen Maguire both made a 147 on March 24th 2000.)

            so that would be 0 days

            • I didnt have the matchroom league and scottish championships for the first one and you have now corrected the other two answers to my liking.

              4 was the wrong you had got wrong and yes the answer is in fact a few hours.

              have a point

                          • Well 3 is the Crucible
                            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

                                A good effort, but I can confirm that this is NOT a fully correct answer.

                                Can anyone else (or you, of course) correct this answer?
