ronnie o sullivan snooker game

Post by cool »

remember the days of 6 reds 6 blacks the colours jackpot! Give us a break.This isnt it.
You have to get a 147 to get £20- other levels prizes jumping from £10 to £20.Bonuses.Difficulty of question varies with colour taken.
Think I would deserve a 100grand for achieving the jackpot- not optimistic although I tend to write off games too quickly.on gamesnets.

Any more on this one? Worth a tickle or is it in off for a foul?

Harsh but fair. Looks a bit beyond your average punter though, so can't see it getting much action.

Couldn't discern any real difference between the difficulty of the questions once you'd got past the first few, so you may as well go red black red black etc and dive straight in. Only reason to pick off the other colours is to grab bonuses.

I'm not sure what would happen though if you could go 36 questions - it's not clear whether that's your lot (in which case you'd have to go red/black/red/black to get the jackpot), or whether it would just keep offering balls and questions.

Judging by the difficulty of some of the questions, I don't suppose they're expecting anybody to ever find out.

Still, it is 36 questions for a straight jackpot. So it's my sort of game.

True, but i could ask you 36 questions you'd never know and you'd get naff all :P

I reckon Ronnie himself should be the quizmaster.

Q1 What colour is a snooker table?
Q2 How many years in total have my parents spent at her majestys pleasure?
Q3 On a scale of 1-100, how much do i hate Stephen Hendry?
Q4 I know i keep saying it, but when will i actually retire?
Q5 I'll play you for a grand left handed. Yes or no?
Q6 I don't like John Virgo. Which word from the following list best sums him up?

Q1 is the worst spoiler of the lot.

Everyone knows a snooker table surface is made of red baize. This is commonly seen on over seas snoccer (American for snooker) tables, but not here in the UK. It's a popular misconception that the baize is green, it's to do with refractive light gun distortion on earlier CRT TV sets or overpowered luminescence from the over table lighting that causes this illusion. Not a coincidence. When it was first realised that the baize was red, here in Blighty we used every imaginable tactic to keep up the illusion of green. Green is a colour synonymous with Britain's greatness and that was the line that was towed. Even today if you walk into any snooker club, you will notice hyper particulate nano microdyes are present on the tables which give the impression of green baize.
Nowadays all baize is imported from China, where the natural colour is a yellowish shade of purple, so there are a multitude of answers to that question, none of which should ever be green.

@ JG :lol: Aye, there's the rub!

And what a point lies beneath such Pythonesque coilings. These question writers, never check Snopes these days - pantless Donald Duck 'n' all that.

If you get a 147 would it display "best of nine frames" ?
