This thread has been dormant for very very nearly a whole year so it's time to revive it and I'm going to revive it with an easy question:

A player, with a one-point lead, can see the ball on directly, full in the face with no obstruction. He fails to hit the ball on, and yet the referee does not call a Miss.

Why?

he's touching the ball on

[bagpiper13579]

touching ball

[pp599]

got to be because only the black remains on the table, so ends up losing the frame.

Only just discovered this thread today, shame its dying out would have been a great way to spend the day at work...

[Cyril]

He does a miss-cue

[Souwester]

Why?

Does he actually play a stroke?

[jrc750]

[Souwester]

Snookers required stage

How can that be, if he has "a one-point lead"?

Eighteen is absolutely the correct answer. I fiddled with it and I believe it cannot be done in a frame without any fouls.

Now, I have a bit of a predicament because Odrl came up first with the correct answer of 18 whereas JIMO96 was the first to demonstrate it with a relevant sequence.

I think I have to be fair and say that, as I merely asked for an answer and did not require any workings, I have to give the point ot Odrl but I am happy to also award JIMO96 an honorary half-point for his efforts.

Meanwhile, anyone got a next question?
