    A more precise question would be: what is the fewest number of shots needed to clear a table - 7.

        Think you’ll find it’s 8 Big Shot
        I’d stick with physics if I were you lol

          Hmm I think 8 is actually correct if you counting legal shots.
          But if one player pots all 15 reds in one shot but goes in off, the other player then pots 6 colours so total of 7

              And where does this infinite cue power materialise from?

                    In in infinite scenerio of infinite outcomes, you would also have an infinite amount of success in the break.

                      If you tried the shot for a infinite amount of time it has to happen eventually. Might take a few million years though so you’ll have to pass the baton onto someone else lol

                        is it really possible to make a shot which pots all reds ?'

                        im close to say physics doesnt allow it

                          Lowest Break?

                          [QUOTE=Keltyx;867442]This one was asked in a local pub quiz, glad to say I got it correct but there was much complaining and moaning from the other teams after the answer was given!

                          Question:
                          What is the lowest possible break achievable for a total clearance[/QUOT

                          Are we to assume that potting ONE ball does not constitute a "break?" and total clearance means potting how ever many balls are on the table, in sequence? If so, then if only pink and black are left on the table and are potted in sequence the "break" would be 13. So is the answer 13?

                            Total clearance means all balls on the table, not just what's left lol

                              The lowest possible total clearance is 65 , 15 reds = 15, 15 yellows = 30 and all the colours up to the pink = 20 and in off the final black means 7 to your opponent with all balls potted, table cleared and you win 65-7.
                              Speak up, you've got to speak up against the madness, you've got speak your mind if you dare
                              but don't try to get yourself elected, for if you do you'll have to cut your hair

                                Nope, we've discussed this before. All 15 reds in first stroke, then yellow and then six colours = 44.
