Well done MG Clive, xmas cracker is in the post!!

You're kidding, right?

I have another one in the same vein.....
How many holes on a golf course?

Or

What's 5 times 7?

 

[W12Lad]

That's 2 minutes of my life I'm not getting back

How big is the course?

I got 21. Though to be fair, they'd have to pot the black more than once...

Why isn't it 35? He's already potted a ball.

That would be correct if the question was "If a snooker player pots a ball how many MORE balls would a snooker player pot to make a 147?"

That would be correct if the question was "If a snooker player pots a ball how many MORE balls would a snooker player pot to make a 147?"

Let's face it, the first 7 words in the question are completely irrelevant and unnecessary given the stupid answer.
And because they were there, I spent ages going through different possible meanings of "pots" and "ball" to work out the really clever cryptic answer......... AAAARRRGH!

I'm not bitter though

I disagree and it is poorly phrased. He or she has potted a ball, it takes another 35 to make the 147 from that point. I declare myself the winner.

I think I won because the questions been answered and I haven't wasted my time trying to work it out

Well, the intention certainly wasn't to upset anyone, nor indeed spend as much time trying to work it out, I do APOLOGISE. Actually, I didn't think it was that difficult
