Snooker question about a foul ?

Question

If i play a shot on the blue which is on the baulk cussion with the rest and miss it totally, in disgust i put my head down and the cue ball travels round and hits my the rest. Is this one foul or two please someone explain.

Answer 1

one. the foul that costs max points is the one counted.

Answer 2

its only 1 foul as the cue ball hitting your rest is 4 points foul and missing the blue ball is a 5 point foul,so it goes on the highest foul...imagine you go for pink (6 points) but miss and hit black thats 7 points so it is taken as the highest foul

Answer 3

it will be one foul - 5 points.
