Answer 3

The eight ball is neither a solid or a stripe. There are 7 stripes and 7 solids. The eight represents the deciding majority of number of balls you have to make.

Answer 4

It isn't if you are playing 9 ball :)

Answer 5

In the game of 8=ball, the eight becomes the object ball equaling the number of stripe and solid balls to seven each.

there are other games to play.

In the game of 9-ball you play using only the nine balls #1-9 and shoot at them in sequential order making 9 the object ball.
