Comments

In Snooker there are 15 reds (1pt each), a yellow (2pts), green (3pts), brown (4pts), blue (5pts), pink (6pts) and a black ball (7pts). After potting each red with a color (a black in this case), each color must be potted in order.

It is possible to score a break of 155 with a free ball.
