Answer 4

You must play it some way which, if it is truly impossible will create a foul that will be handled the same as any other scratch. However, while creating a foul regardless of what you do, you can consider hitting any ball any way you want in order to play the balls so that this impossible snooker is not available for your opponent to leave you so tough a second time.
