How is it possible in a game of snooker to pot the yellow ball 4 times in a single break .....?

Question

...and end up making a break of only 8? (Not a trick question; it is possible - I know the answer).

Answer 1

you   go red   yellow   red   yellow  red yellow   red yellow  then when going for next red go in off

Answer 2

My visit - after a foull shot.

I can't see the last red available so I take a free-ball.  I will nominate YELLOW.  (counts as a red!)

Now I need a colour.  I will nominate YELLOW.

The yellow goes back on the spot.  Now it's time to clear the colours.  I step back to sip my beer and puff my cigarette - then approach the table carmly.

The first colour is YELLOW.  I pot the ball and then feel drunk by the alcohol and invade the other table and pot their yellow.  I've gone yellow crazy.

Actually please give us the answer!  I was told this years ago and I can't remember how it's done.  But it is a great question for snooker fans.

Answer 3

yellow (free ball counts as red) ,  yellow, red, yellow, yellow.

When last red potted was last red.

Then pot no more balls in that break.

Answer 4

last red on table  your opponent commits a foul and snookers you..nominate yellow as free ball..........therefore yellow then yellow as your colour red yellow now onto colours pot yellow and miss on the green   potted yellow four times and your break is eight

Answer 5

i would guess if you potted the white in the same shot thtat you potted the yellow but i don`t know

Answer 6

red 1 yellow 2 red 1 yellow 2 red 1 yellow 2 red 1 yellow 2 then foul

Answer 7

LUCK

Answer 8

Very easy if your opponent gives a foul and you are snookered on the last red. Call yellow as a substitute red for 1pt with the yellow being respotted. Then you simply pot yellow again this time for 2 pts. Follow with the final red for 1pt. You then nominate yellow after it is respotted yet again, and finally, play yellow again. Total points 1+2+1(red)+2+2 = 8 points

Answer 9

Opponent fouls, so take Yellow as 'free ball', then yellow as colour. then pot the last red and yellow again and then yellow again as first colour ball .
