Or it could be that you had Len Ganley refereeing and you chipped the ball and hit him in the groin with it. <laugh>

I am showing my age. :-(


Bet he drinks C....(oh never mind!)

You ask him!

Excellent. We now have a new 'official' answer to #2: one that does not defy the WPBSA definitions! :dizzy:

Would you like for me to "write up" the "official" answer to # 2 then? I could probably manage to bring your debutant thread up to 10 pages with a single long post....

I expect that wouldn't get too many actual "reads" though...

Sure to get the zebra though. If you don't know what that is yet, I am sure someone will post it. I am surprised I haven't already elicited the dancing zebra within this thread.

    2. You come to the table and pot a red. The referee takes the red from the pocket and puts it on the black spot. Why?
Bearing in mind my misuse of the word 'pot', I believe there is another, simpler solution to to this question that does not involve a foul. It is more likely in an amateur game, but the rules do allow for it. Would anyone like to take a stab at it?
