when playing 8-ball pool, and your last ball is the 8-ball, can you combo another ball to make the 8-ball?

For a legal shot, the cue ball must strike the 8 ball first, or a rail and then the 8 ball.  If it strikes another object ball first, that is a scratch.

To get your answers, imagine what has to happen.  \n\na) First, you have to pick 1 of the 4 white balls out of the 12 balls there.\n\n2nd, you have to pick 1 of the 3 white balls left out of the 11 balls there.\n\nSo, in order to get a red and then a red, you need to get 4 out of 12 followed by 3 out of 11 or 4/12 times 3/11 or 12/132 = 1/22.\n\nb) First, how many ways can 5 people line up?  5!.  How many ways are correct (assuming they all have different names, only 1).  So, the prob is 1/5! or 1/120.

Straight pool - 15 \n(clear rack on break)\ngood luck though! :)\n\nSnooker - 15 \n(pot all the red balls in one shot)\ngood luck though :)\n\nEnglish Billiards - 2 \n(winner and cannon combined)\nhappens often!

you have a better probability of winning if you buy all the squares!\n\nBut seriously, the pools I have been in, people sign their name BEFORE the numbers are drawn. That is so there is no better square on the sheet- its all in how the numbers are drawn- seems like it would be hard to fill a sheet if the numbers were already written on the sheet. Everyone who bought the first squares would take the 0's, 3's 4's and 7's - a lot of people wont buy squares if they are stuck with numbers like 2 and 8 or 9- because they suck (not as bad now that we have 2 pt conversions though)\n\nstay away from the edges??? hmm, I'll have to remember that. hehe

Paul Newman executed this shot twice in the movie.  once to miss it on purpose and then he hit it again after he set the guy up.  the 8-ball is frozen to the side rail and the cue ball is frozen to the 8-ball.  you hit the cue ball with top-right english with a fairly firm stroke lifting your cue while stroking so as to avoid the double hit.  the right english transfers left on the 8-ball sending it in the direction of the corner pocket.  depending on angle, the amount of english will vary.

one ball on the pitch, but you might have 4 extras on the side lines for throwings and if the ball gets flat.\nt

yo there is a game called Baseket Ball ....but it's not very organized

Pool A\nA1\nA2\nA3\nA4\n\nPool B\nB1\nB2\nB3\n\nAll teams in pool A play each other once top team advances to semi-finals\n\nAll teams in pool B play each other once top team advances \n\n2nd and 3rd place teams in each pool cross over (2 vs 3) with other pool to pick other two semi finalist.\n\nThis way all the teams in Pool A get 3 games in pool play.  All the teams in Pool B get 2 pool games and at least one game trying to get into or in the semi-finals.\n\nHope that works for you.

don't knock the 8-ball in until last, unless you're playing straight pool........ keep your eye-level as low as possible, use a smooth stroke.

C is at the end, so its just the other 8 positions to play with.\n\nCount how many permutations of those 8 there are.\n\nThen count how many there are where A and B stand side by side.\n\nThen subtract those out.\n\nEdit:  Poster below me is way off.  without any restrictions, 9 men could be arranged in over 360000 ways.   Not 81.\n\nBasically, you can take 'C' out of it.  There are 8 spots left, and 8 men.  Spot 1 can hold any of the 8.  spot 2 any of the remaining 7 and so on, giving 8X7X6X5X4X3X2 which is 8! possibilities.\n\nThat's 40320.\n\nOf those 40320, some involve A and B being side by side.  How many?  Well, they could be in slot 1&2, 2& 3 .... up to 7&8.  And they could be A-B or B-A.  That's 14 possibles.  For each of those 14, the other 6 spots could be filled 6! ways.\n\nSo there are 14 X 6! = 14 X 720 = 10800 combos with C in the 9 spot and A & B side by side.\n\nTherefor, of the 40320 with C in the 9 spot, 40320-10800 = 30240 possible arrangements have C at the end, but A and B NOT side by side.

in 9 ball you have to hit the lowest numbered ball 1st or it is a ball in hand fall.if you scratch.if you dont hit a rail after you contact the lowest number ball with either the cue ball or the object ball. in 8 ball you have ball in hand if...you dont hit one of your balls and a rail.you scratch.

first you pick up the eight ball and you will throw it

No, but you can work it out on paper. I know because I did it once. You have five letters, so there should be 25 combinations, Of course, as two letters are the same that would make it 20. I think. Just give it a go. It's always more fun to work these tings out yourself.

I have no pool table but this is easily answered from the memories of my mis-spent youth. I spent hours upon hours in smoke filled pool rooms as a boy.\n\nThere are 15 balls in a full rack. 1 thru 7 all have the white circle in the middle. These balls are refered to as solids.\n\nThe 9 ball thru the 15 all have a colored stripe passing around a white ball. These  balls are called stripes. \n\nThe eight ball looks like a solid ball but in some games it belongs to neither group. it is it's own ball.\n\nFew people know that the 1 and 9 are the same color. This pattern repeats itself throughout the set. I will list the colors and numbers, just remember all balls above eight are stripes, no white circle.\n\n1&9 yellow\n2&10 blue\n3&11 Red\n4&12 Purple\n5&13 Orange\n6&14 Green\n7&15 Maroon\n8 Black

I always put my index and middle fingers together and wrap my thumb around the bottom of the ball with the other fingers bent. then you let it slide off the fingertips as you release. WiCkeD PiTcH!!\n\nI think some spread the fingers but I get more speed and control when together.
