AZ PROJECT- Test ? Facts, & Trusims

Hey how about we have a project here at AZ.. ? I was thinking it would be really cool to have a test about billiards... Something that (I) we could share with members, new players and team mates (if league?) to test what we really know about the technical facts and general wisdoms regarding the game of pool... I've seen some small quizes here and there but never seen an organized "test" something comprehensive... Its quite obvious that here at AZ we have an something that may not exist anywhere else in the world in such a captive consontration.... WISDOM and KNOWLEDGE... collectively this forum has hundreds, NO!, THOUSANDS of years of collective billiards experience.... I would like to organize and document a writen test about billiards to share with the community.... For the purpose of educating one another and whomever share a passion for the game we love... Here's the idea... Everyone share something they know about pool... it doesn't have to be an absolute (highly technical) fact... it may be something you learned along the way that helped you understand the game, or a facet of the game... it maybe be extremely technical... it can BE ANYTHING... Let me give some quick examples... (in some cases it can be a simple question, it could also be assisted with a cuetable diagram... ) Q: when executing a bank shot applying inside english will: A. Increase or Widen the angle of rebound off the cusion B. Decrease or Tigthen the angle of rebound off the cusion C. Will not effect the angle of rebound off the cusion Q: Outside english on a cut shot at medium speed will: A. The collision induced throw will straighten (decrease) the angle of the cut B. The collision induced throw will exagerate (increase) the angle of the cut C. Will not change the path of the object ball, only the angle of rebound (leave) of the cueball after it makes contact will a rail. Q: In the game of 9 ball, if an object ball is knocked off of the table A. It spots, and the incoming players plays the cueball as it lies B. It stays off the table (down) and the incoming player plays the cueball as it lies C. It spots, and the incoming player begins with Ball in hand. D. It stays off the table (down) and the incoming player gets ball in hand Q: When playing a harder tip vs. a softer tip A. Harder tips increase english B. Softer tips increase english C. the ability to impart english is not significantly effected by the hardness of a tip. More example questions (all "levels" of difficulty in questions are highly desired!!)... Q. What is "throw"? Q. In the game of one pocket, how many balls must hit a rail to constitute a legal break? Q. What is the highest documented "run" in straight pool, and by whom? Q. When gambling, What does it mean when you give the 7 and out? Etc, etc, etc....
