The Pool Trivia Thread

[sniper]

OK This is how it works, somebody starts off with a trivia question related to pool (obviously ) and the question must be correctly answered before another question can be posted. Any breach of this rule will result in bad rolls for life. The winner who answers the most questions correctly gets a free Ferrari courtesy of TheOne (sorry Craig ).

I'll start us off with an easy one just to get the ball rolling.


Who is the only player to win both a World nine ball championship as well as a World snooker championship?

You're right! The instant I sent that message I knew I was wrong and deleted it immediately. I was thinking men pro's and forgot about the women.

TK6 ??????????????????????
I don't think anyone knows what it meant.

In American Graffiti the license plate on the 32 coupe was THX 138, that was the name of Spielbergs first movie, (a Sci-fi).

Does anyone know the answer to the TCOM/license plate question? I've seen it asked before, but no one was ever able to provide an answer.

I remember reading somewhere that the person who actually owned the car allowed them to use his real plates for the movie, but I do not for the life of me remember what he said it stood for. I know it had nothing to do with the TCOM though. And for some reason I remmeber that he owned a bar or liquor store or something that was close to relevant too. But this is all hearsay, becasue I just cannot remember.

 

[Donovan]

Sorry, I guess it is my turn to put up a question.., I'm not too good at thinking these up, just finding answers. LOL

From the orginal book by Walter Tevis, The Hustler, what was the name of the Pool Hall where Fast Eddie and Fats played against each other?

 

[Njhustler1]

The place to be? No wait, that was a Seinfeld episode.

In another thread somewhere one time, someone mentioned it may have been Tom Karabotsis's (sp?) car, a Chicago local, but they were just guessing.
