In clearance #361 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.

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 9 shots, potting in the order 3 → 1 → 2 → 5 → 6 → 4. 4 of its shots potted nothing: they were position or safety shots to set up an easier pot.

Think two balls ahead. Before each shot, decide which ball comes next and stop the white on the side of the current ball that gives an angle to it.
