Can someone please explain the ball ranking and order of shots for the game of Snooker?

Question

I have been away from the game for years and have forgotten the shooting order.

Answer 1

red-any colour,red any colour and so on until all the reds are potted.

then yellow,green,brown,blue,pink and black-Finish.

Reds=1

yellow=2

green =3,

brown=4

blue =2

pink =6

black=7

Total ''clearance ''= 147

Answer 2

Pasky above said it. Except Blue = 5, not 2.

So starting Red > Black 15 times = 120

Then shooting yellow through black = 27. Hence, 147. Maximum break.

Answer 3
