What have I done to you??

you seem to have access to obscure sources, which fail heavy googling attempts So these are total guesses:

The last attempt round 157:

1. In which year the first authentic century was played? 1918????
2. When & where was played the first maximum in competition in continental europe? 1928 Worlds
3. Who achieved it? Joe Davis
4. What was the highest break in ladies uk tour season 06/07 and who achieved it? 87, Reanne Evans?

and may I just say that ladies prize money is ridiculous!

I'm not disputing that Missneworleans, merely asking if both players agree to a re-rack, could that happen, rather than the referee try to remember where all the different balls where at the time of the incident?

Well yes, it will be hard ro remember the previous positon, but they don't have other choice

no, just imagine he was in a snooker, now plays rubbishly 37 foul and misses + 1 hit of the black instead, so now he has 155 foul points against himself.
2nd player gets in and leaves player A a free ball. At this point brilliant player mode is switched on to clear up for a max. As I said probability of this to happen has to be 0. D_g can calculate that exactly

I'm sure it's more likely than that. I can imagine O'Sullivan playing a sequence of shots with the butt end of his cue, or deliberately potting the wrong ball (as he did against Holt), and then making a 155 break (as he didn't do against Holt). Only problem is the referee might first disqualify him for ungentlemanly conduct.

[oymyakon]

Any problematical question again?
Alright mates, let's nix question 4 (I guess that's the one).

[rambon]

Since the problem is caused by a faulty piece of equipment that is external to the table itself, the player is not punished. The referee is expected to replace the balls to their previous positions so that the game can continue as if nothing had happened

[snookersfun]

But after 155 points there's only cue-ball left on the table!

[davis_greatest]

Yes, I meant after having conceded 155 points' worth of fouls, with nothing potted.

[snookersfun]

But after 155 there are now balls at the table...

presumably all foul points, and will very possibly never ever happen
