i think even the most deicated (idle) snooker fan would struggle to watch that many frames in one go.

what happened to the answer at 4?

Ok, so I don't 'play' these pheonix topics and obviously you're not meant to google the answers (bet lots of people do, if only to satisfy their own curiousity!) but that answer is MAD! why did they play to that many frames? I can't see the significance of the total number or the difference between the scores.

Was it just a certain length of TIME for the match?
