Thus, the final answer is 2613 + 9 = 2622 balls . Is that really the final answer? No! As we will see, we can place a dozen more balls on the table! Can you guess how? As nobody has come with any ideas, I'll show you how I could improve that result. No conceptual change really, all we'll do is we'l...

AppImage files work a little differently. After download, you have to make the file executable (from a command terminal or from a graphical file manager tool) and then run the file.

Hi,

Have you tried the Linux download (*.AppImage) on your ChromeBook, too?

Hi, All I can say it must have been a network problem on your side. The last time the server was restarted was on 12th May and in that case, as usual, the server came back immediately, there was no extra outage. I hope the issue will not be coming back to you but if it does, please check your intern...

invite someone ... how do you do it ?

At the table, click the People / Invite button or press CTRL-P. Click the player name in the list and click on the Invite button in the lower left corner.

Or simply type the /invite playername command in the chat area.

Oops, yellow would be respotted at first... My bad... Then I modify my answer to 2637.

All the reds in one shot, then yellow, green, brown, blue and pink, finally pot the black and go in-off for a true clearance.

Same set up, 2622 balls, 6 of them are the colours, 1 is the cue ball, what would be the lowest scoring total clearance possible?

I think the lowest possible break score after clearing the table is 2635 points.

Hi sacko7, Thanks fr the notice! We are sorry for the bad experience. We will handle the case appropriately. Should you face similar situations, you can simply click the Report Abuse button in the top right corner of the table chat area and mods/admins will be informed about it immediately. Hopefull...

Thank you very much, Wizard! Although it might look like such calculations take a long time, I can assure you that working out problems like this is negligible to the work put even in a small feature of SnookerQ. Speaking about balls, for example, modelling and calculating the collision of two balls...

I'm not the best googler but I couldn't find what I beleive is the correct answer anywhere on the net! This SnookerQ forum can be the world's first place to get it right! Let's go for it step by step! First of all, the sizes. As we are looking for the maximum number of balls, we will calculate with ...

Go to My Account, which you can find in the top right corner of the lobby. Select Preferences, set the default Difficulty to Pro and click Save. If you go to an empty table, the Pro mode will set automatically.

Beware, this is also for matches against other players, not only for practice!

Excellent explanation, Wizard! Thanks!

This is my last guess.....2,695.......

Your previous number was a little closer.

Hmmmm....so how can it be worked out then?...

There exist situations where the object ball is impossible to hit. In those cases the cue ball shall be played towards the ball on with sufficient strength so that the cue ball would reach the object ball if the snookering balls were not there. If the cue ball is played that way, the professional re...

Yes, that is a realistic situation where a foul shot can be advantageous. If you are 32 points in front and you can pot the last red along the cushion, the cue ball is bound to fall in the middle pocket, yet that is the correct shot to play. Foul, 4 points penalty, your opponent will be 28 points be...

138 seconds it is, so the average shot time is about 3.8 seconds

Indeed! It's already done and coming in the next release.
Thanks for bringing it up!

Yes, Zorro, that was my point with that honeycomb picture. For comparision, see how the red triangle would look like with the rows and columns method:

That's a good approximation but you are leaving too much empty space between the balls.

Hmmm, that's weird! Are there some special mouse settings in Windows on your PC?

Right click is supposed to cancel the aiming. If the left click does that, it seems the functions of your mouse buttons are swapped?

Hi!

Have you seen this tutorial?
You can load it from the game, too. When you log in, you have a button in the chat area for the shot tutorial.

Does your game behave differently? Please specify more details if it does.

I think we need to refer back to the original question here before we construct the great pyramids. Pretty sure the question referred to how many you can place "on the table" not several layers above it. Exactly: "all balls are resting on the table bed" My question would be do you mean how many you...
