no 44, because you have to pot a colour after the final red (yellow - 2pts) and a clearance in snooker is defined as a single visit to the table where you clear everything.
it's pretty unlikely, you have to pot all 15 reds in one shot |

Unless all the years of my dad watching it has been a different game but I thought the rules were pot red, pot colour until the final red and its colour are potted then it the yellow - black. Actually, Ill check. As per wikipedia: Quote:

In which case 15 reds = 15 points, pot the minimum colour after them = 15 x 2 = 30 gives 45 points. Then pot yellow - black so add 27 = 72points is the minimum points for a clearance according to the rules. :P |

I think it's worked out that one strike of the white would sink EVERY red on the table in that one strike...then you start sinking the colours...i think

The average European sperm count is in the region of 70 million per millilitre.
While only one (or possibly two or three) sperm are required to fertilise an egg, a man needs a sperm count of 20 million per millilitre to be any way sure of success the natural way. I won't tell you what my count was... but I was chuffed... |

Found this out which I felt was quite apt considering the weird weather we've been having lately:
It snowed in the Sahara desert on February 18, 1979. |
