couple billiards quizez....
- Thread starter Beware_of_Dawg
- Start date
stumbled into them, just thought Id share.
somethings might have gotten lost in translation, think the authors were english/european on some of the quizes? some could be dated a bit too. none the less, I didnt ace a single one of them.
It's impossible to ace to our satisfaction.
The side of a snooker table could be many lengths although i expect
they want us to say 12.
And a rack and a triangle are synonomous to me.
If they clean it up it would be fun.
huh?
maybe it's not them.
Making any sense.... Ur doing it wrong.
I wasn't aware I was trying to ace 'em to your satisfaction?. I didn't get a perfect score on any of the tests according to the answers they were looking for. Doubt I bother submitting the scores to you though. You already said acing them to ur satisfaction would be impossible?.
lol.

I have played on snooker tables that are 3x6-3&1/2x7-4x8-4&1/2x9
5x10-5&1/2x11-6x12..so when they ask me how long is the longest
side....How do i answer it?
...and to me a rack and a triangle are the same thing...
1. 13/16
2. 14/15 but i disagree with the last question so 15/15
3. 9/10
4. 9/10
5. 9/10
I couldnt get the snooker test to work, i'd guess I would get 50% right because I dont live in the UK and havent had that much exposure to snooker-since youtube.com and AZB I had very little exposure to snooker.
I was thrown out of my 3rd year of college because of bad grades, academic probation is waht it was called, it was enforced when they tossed me, coincedently I was playing the best pool of my life and was winning steady $$$, So getting bounced from college was a bit to tell my partents but I sure was happy-I started playing harder longer and for a year thats all I did-until I walked into the pool room and looked around and said to myself "There must be more to life than this" So I retired from pool for a couple years.
I dont think I ever in life I did as well on tests than the 5 I just took. See they been asking me the wrong questions all this time, I'm not dumb.

On the 9 Ball quiz, the question about the 9 on the break being a win is lame. Either answer could be correct for a number of different sets of rules.
One question I don't agree with, is the question about what's more important...stroke, or consistancy...I said consistancy...they said stroke...so my comment was stroke THIS......consistantly....and see where it leads

1-missed 1, should have been 100%. Bank pool is 15 balls, 9 balls are called short rack banks where Im from.
2-missed the last one. Consistency is harder than a good stroke.
3-missed who won in 99.
4-100%
5-100%
6-not working
Somewhat fun, the nickname ones made me laugh. Branding womens pool by giving them ALL nicknames......

I only took the first quiz. Got 14 of 15 right. The one I missed was the name of the frame for "organizing" the balls. I said Triangle and the correct answer was Rack. I like my answer better on this trick question. I quit after that.
I went back and did nicknames. Got 20 out of 20, but was disappointed not to see Toupee Jay. :frown:
13 out of 15 on the 9-Ball quiz. :shakehead:
8 out of 10 on quiz 3. I'm getting dumber!

Missed 3 on quiz 1, all the historical stuff.
One wrong in 9b.
Aced 3
1 wrong in the first nicknames (napoleon, doh)
none wrong in the second nicknames
The snooker one slaughtered me, 5 wrong
And yeah, the consistency question was BS. Consistency is what separates the pros from the rest of us. Anybody can shoot a ball in the corner and use a decent stroke to draw 3 feet and get straight in on the side. The pro gets straight almost every time and the rest of us roll a foot far or short.
