Snooker Quiz!!!

[The Statman]

you are both right and at exactly the same time and so its a point each !!!!!

But we didn't give the same answer!

[Marc]

i still think the answer to the question is 6

[The Statman]

still 7 attempts before the black was potted tho

No. Six attempts before the black was potted; it was potted on the seventh.

But two of Davis's shots were safeties so no attempt was made – hence my answer of 4!

i said 6 attempts on post 1081

Yes but my answer was 4 because two of the shots were not attempts!

Question 383:

I came home from work eager to watch the snooker on the television. Unfortunately, when I turned the tv on, I found it was suffering from a recurring problem. The picture was blank apart from a strip a few inches high at the bottom of the screed – so I could at least see the scoreboard! And the sound was working fine. I just couldn’t see any of the table.

The first shot that took place when the tv had warmed up sounded like a player making a short-range pot; it must have been a red because the referee announced the score immediately. A second later, the scoreboard changed to 57–0.

Given all this, explain how I was certain that a 147 break was not a possibility.
