In clearance #313 six numbered balls wait on the cloth and the white sits on the head spot. There is no opponent and no fixed order — only the count of shots, fouls included.

No ball lies within 35 cm of a pocket. Expect long pots from the start and give yourself room for error by playing the safest one first. The side pockets are the natural target for ball 4.

No two balls are touching, so every ball can be played on its own.

Playing with no aiming error, our Expert computer cleared this layout in 5 shots, potting in the order 2 → 4 → 3 → 6 → 1 → 5.

A tidy target is to match the Expert: one shot per ball plus a spare. Keep the white near the middle of the table and the next pot will always be close.
