ROUND TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SIX

Anyone?

[jb134]

Because Alec Brown produced the fountain pen cue against Tom Newman at Thurston's. Ref, Charlie Chamber's deemed it it not to be within the spirit of the game, "foul, 7 away". The BA&CC thereafter stipulated that a cue MUST be 3 ft in length.

Bang on mate.

[Cyril]

The minimum lenght of a snooker cue is 36 inches, why?

Congratlations Cyril. It is indeed the case that Dene O'Kane has made six appearances at the Crucible, but has never appeared two years running.

You are no longer sandwiched between Paul and me!

ROUND TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR

[janverhaas]

He never lost in the 2nd round?

[Cyril]

Despite 6 appearances (inc 2 quarter finals), he never appeared 2 years consecutively.

[The Statman]

ROUND TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR

What is unusual about Dene O'Kane's playing record at the Crucible?

[Alex0paul]

Congratlations frameandfortunereturns (just) it was indeed Mark J Williams in winning the China Open and Thailand Masters.

ROUND TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR

anyone?

[frameandfortunereturns]

That is very strange! I am surprised it hasn't happened more than once(the 7 day gap that is)!

[Cyril]

Yeah, the question sat there since 7.16pm !! Haha

It could be something else, where the pre-televised stages of the next event almost started before the last had finished.

[frameandfortunereturns]

That was crazy!! Fastest finger as they say in the wild west!! Maybe it was wrong anyway?

[Cyril]

I will guess at Mark Williams? 2002 Thailand and China Opens?

Good Shot!!!

I'll take the precaution of a back up plan:

Hendry, in 1990, Asian & Dubai!

[dantuck_7]

Looks like a photo-finish here!
