Answer 12

Depends on the local rules of the game and the game you are playing.  If you are playing 8-Ball you may or may not lose.  Most times you loose.  But there may be some houses where that is only a scratch.

In most all other games if your que ball goes in a pocket or off the table it is a scratch and you loose your turn and there may be some other penalties, like balls returned to the table or an apponent getting ball in hand.  Regardless, it is bad if you scratch.

Scratch on the 8 is a loss.

Answer 16
