OP I'll send you an invite if you can answer this:

A 'snooker' table (measuring 8 metres by 4m) with 4 'pockets'(measuring 0.5m and placed at diagonal slants in all 4 corners)contains 10 balls (each with a diameter of 0.25m) placed at thefollowing coords:

2m,1m...(white ball)
...and red balls...
1m,5m... 2m,5m... 3m,5m
1m,6m... 2m,6m... 3m,6m
1m,7m... 2m,7m... 3m,7m
​

The white ball is then shot at a particular angle from 0 to 360 degrees (0 being north, and going clockwise).
Just to make it clear, a ball is 'potted' if at least half of the ball is in area of the 'pocket'

Assuming the balls travel indefinitely (i.e. no loss of energy viafriction, air resistance or collisions), answer the following:

a: What exact angle/s should you choose to ensure that all the balls are potted the quickest?
b: What is the minimum amount of contacts the balls can make with each other before they are all knocked in?
c: Same as b, except that each ball - just before itis knocked in - must not have hit the white ball on its previouscontact (must be a red instead of course).
d: What proportion of angles will leave the white ball the last on the table to be potted?

I havent played in a year or so... but it was a real fun game before people were hacking on a normal basis... Not sure how it is now... You can find a cd key online for maybe like 5 bucks and download the game from the blizzard site...
