Interesting that the number of 'legitimate' methods is the
same as the<br>
maximum break at snooker!<br>

The maximum normal break; it can be higher if the break begins with
a free ball followed by potting the black and clearing the rest in
the normal way for a maximum, giving a 155 break. I dont know if
this has ever arisen; does anyone know? It is theoretically possible
to begin a break in this way and then miss the final red/black, thus
leaving the break at 147. I wonder if this should happen in a top
competition the sponsors would pay out the special prize for a 147.<br>
