h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

While still recognising the differences between the games of snooker and billiards, since setting this quiz I have come to realise that I should have chosen another game, such as crocquet, to substitute for the correct answer, billiards. In the context of this quiz, the differences are not great enough to justify marking the answer 'True' as wrong. In consequence, in the submissions sent to me I have accepted either answer, and you should do the same.

for the mistake
