snooker dictoids

[snookerelvis]

can anybody work out these snooker dictoids i made up whilst at work. For example 0(zero)=N o H o W T H, would be, 0(zero)= Number of Hairs on Willie Thornes Head. Lower case letters in the dictoid denote smaller insignificant words such as...if,on,and,a,the etc.
Below are 10 more, although all are a bit more serious than the example. Some are fairly easy, some a little more obscure, but all involve snooker. First to post all 10 or most correct, wins.........nothing. Good luck


1. 1 = R i a S M

2. CT = F O E W C

3. 36 = N o B P i a M

4. MT = F W R a t W C

5. 2 = C i a C B

6. tMM = N R N

7. 6 = P o a S T

8. 15 = N o R a S o F

9. SD = M t F T M

10. 32 = P a t S o a W C

apologies i have just been informed they are called ditloids, not dicloids!

Some of those are quite difficult...but ok,think I've got a few of them,but some of them are wild guesses..., and some I just don't know :

1. 1= Referee in a Snooker Match

2. Cliff Thorburn= First Overseas Ever World Champion ?

3. 36= Number of Balls Potted in a Maximum

4. Michaela Tabb = First Woman Referee at the World Championship

5. 2= Colours in a Century Break ? (if you only use black and red?)

6. (no idea)

7. 6= Pockets on a Snooker Table

8. 15= Number of Reds at Start of Frame

9. Steve Davis= (something) ?

10. 32= Players at the Start of a World Championship

EDIT: P.S. It's almost 2am and I've used up all my brain power. Time to go to bed (and get a life,possibly....)

Impressive Sølvi

9. Steve Davis = Made the First Televised Maximum?

[austrian_girl]

Impressive indeed!

6. the Melbourne Machine = Neil Robertson's nickname

2. Cliff Thorburn= First Overseas Ever World Champion ?

Yes, really impressive Miss S, if i was wearing a hat id take it off to you. when i posted these i looked back over them and tried to view them from the perspective of someone who didnt know the answers, and realised how tough they were, so again, youve done an excellent job.
All are correct bar number 2, which was remedied by mitsuko (First Overseas Embassy World Champion) although your answer was close enough, Number 6 (the Melbourne Machine=Neil Robertsons Nickname), number 9 (Steve Davis=Made the First Televised Maximum), which were answered correctly by Austrian Girl and Lindea respectively. So well done guys.
Which only leaves number 6, which i must admit is probably the toughest of the bunch, so heres a clue.... CE,DT,WT,JV.

[snookerelvis]

sorry, number 5!

5. 2 = C i a C B
Commentators in a commentary box?

[mcmanusrules]

7 = N o W T S H W

Thats easy lol.

[RaNeN]

This is very very difficult! I am impressed Solvi.
I dont think I will ever be able to solve one.

1. 1 = R i a S M Referee in a Snooker Match

2. CT = F O E W C Cliff Thorburn = First Overseas Embassy World Champion

3. 36 = N o B P i a M Number of Balls Potted in a Maximum

4. MT = F W R a t W C Michaela Tabb = First Woman Referee at the World Championship

5. 2 = C i a C B Let me get back to you on this one!

6. tMM = N R N The Melbourne Machine = Neil Robertson's Nickname

7. 6 = P o a S T Pockets on a Snooker Table

8. 15 = N o R a S o F Number of Reds at Start of Frame

9. SD = M t F T M Steve Davis = Made the First Televised Maximum

10. 32 = P a t S o a W C Players at the Start of a World Champsionship

[snookerelvis]

Correct with number 5 snookersfun! I think that covers them all. phew! in relation to mcmanusrules' ditloid would the answer be 7=Number of World Titles Stephen Hendrys Won?

[The Statman]

999 = F P a t C b T G

16666 = F P a t C

7 = M M i t W C

377 = L R o a R F

91618 = P S b S H a t C

[kellie-text]

999 = F P a t C b T G - frames played at the crucible by terry griffiths

16666 = F P a t C - frames played at the crucible?

7 = M M i t W C - maximums made in the world championship

377 = L R o a R F - lowest ranking of a ranking finalist

91618 = P S b S H a t C - points scored by stephen hendry at the crucible
