cheeky, cheeky... well done
I forgot nearly all the color options and would have never gotten some of your last ones.
But we did come close, didn't we

How about doing an easy fun round, like name 2 songtitles or group/singer names each that contain each of the snooker colors. (Names have to be backed up by references, where unknown). Example, if there was a purple ball- purple haze.

[The Statman]

Well that was a bit of fun! I'll cancel this question and give what I think is the answer, which is 51:

Starting with 7 Reds: 1
7 Reds

Starting with 5 Reds: 1
5 Reds-Yellow

Starting with 4 Reds: 2
4 Reds-Green
4 Reds-Yellow-Red

Starting with 3 Reds: 4
3 Reds-Brown
3 Reds-Green-Red
3 Reds-Yellow-2 Reds
3 Reds-Yellow-Yellow

Starting with 2 Reds: 6
2 Reds-Blue
2 Reds-Brown-Red
2 Reds-Green-2 Reds
2 Reds-Green-Yellow
2 Reds-Yellow-3 Reds
2 Reds-Yellow-Red-Yellow

Starting with Red: 10
Red-Pink
Red-Blue-Red
Red-Brown-2 Reds
Red-Brown-Yellow *
Red-Green-3 Reds
Red-Green-Red-Yellow
Red-Yellow-4 Reds
Red-Yellow-2 Reds-Yellow
Red-Yellow-Red-Green
Red-Yellow-Red-Yellow-Red

That’s 24 methods, each of which could start with one Red as a free ball – EXCEPT the one marked * – so that’s 47.

Then.......

Starting with colours: 4
Free-ball Yellow-real Yellow-Green
Green-Brown
Free-ball Green (where real Green is also potted)-Brown
Black

So the total is 51.

ROUND FORTY-FOUR

...anyone?

[snookersfun]

I just rechecked, Alex and me had multiples so it might be rather 44 or rather 32 taking the funnies out, so tell which ones don't work or give the answer before heads explode

[The Statman]

Nobody has my correct answer yet! That's not to say that my answer is correct, but obviously I think it is!

There is one which does NOT work, which I am pleased to see someone fell for! And also, a sneaky one that DOES work, which nobody has got yet.

Shall I tell you the answer to either the sneaky one or the wrong one, or shall I give the answer?

[snookersfun]

How about 34? I rather cut down on the funny ones...

[berolina]

Ok so I'll guess 47.

[Cessy143]

I'll go for 64

[snookersfun]

So 45 for Alex? I will then go for 46
(all 1s and ?x1 are reds or multiple reds, all other numbers are the respective colors)
7
3,4

3) 4x1+3

10) 1+5+1
11) 1+2+1+2+1
12) 1+2+1+3
13) 1+3+1+2
14) 1+4+2x1
15) 2x1+2+1+2
16) 2x1+3+2x1
17) 2x1+4+1
18) 3x1+2+2x1
19) 4x1+2+1

[Nugget]

Impressive

I could have 54 but there are 8 iffy ones

I can see you winning this for determination alone!
I've pretty much thrown in the towel
