| The hint was good. But, if 155 is possible then 147 is not the maximum. How about Highest? I guessed it anyway. |

| This is the second (or third) time Snooker has "teased" me. I still haven't researched it. I will before it Sneaks me again. Good one. |

| Right! I think that "this could change" should cover this teaser (now). |

| A single break can only be 147!
Would you like to explain how you can get 155 in a single break please  |

| 147 is the maximum ammount possible from the value of the balls on the table. However it is possible that there could be a free-ball awarded, when no reds have been potted and a foul has been committed leaving your opponent snookered on all reds. You can then nominate a coloured ball to become in effect a red. You then pot this ( it is replaced on the table ) and follow it up with a black, thus giving you 8 points. With the potential to score another 147 points still avaliable to you.
Hope this clears things up |

| Good teaser
I remember watching Kirk Stevens get close to beating 147 back in the 80s, but he messed up eventually. |

| The highly unlikely event of someone scoring 155 in one break actually happened; in a practice frame in 2005, Jamie Cope did exactly what is described in phildunphy's comment - and rewrote snooker history in the process.
Still, a good little teaser. I like a bit of the ol' snooker.  |

| I have a feeling that someone has bettered 147 recently in a proffessional match ! But not a 155 |
