3C Quiz for fun

Nice quiz.

There is a possible problem with shot 7B and that is the cue ball may not have left the cushion before it contacts ball 2. It is impossible to tell during the shot.

True that the cue ball may not have left the cushion, but this path is impossible with only 2 cushions, so the referee has no choice but to validate the 3C shot. The referee cannot decide if the ball has left the cushion.

I think the path is possible with the cue ball contacting the long rail only one time with the contact on ball 2 during that single contact while the cue ball is still in the cushion. Whether the officials want to count such a possibility as a point is a matter of how the rules are applied. I don't know the particular UMB rule or decision that applies.

I slowed the shot down to .25 and it looks (clearly looks) like the ball was hit 1st.

Guess a slight glitch in the App.

I've reviewed the real shot that you could see yourself here :
- time = 25'30
It's not obvious to see if the ball contacts the long rail twice.

I've remade the shot, as you could see here : https://caromball.com/#/favorite/24981ff9-9895-4d72-8ff8-138f73542520
It's more similar to the reality than in the quiz.

The shot is missed in the real world, and i had to move the carom ball to make it.
Sorry for the imprecision of the 7B quiz shot.
