How do you shoot pool?
You have 16 balls on the table, 7 solid colored, 7 striped colored, a black 8 ball, and the white ball.
And?
You hit the white ball with your cue. The white ball hits the colored balls. And you want to get the colored balls into the pockets.
How do you know whether you should hit the solid or the striped one?
At the beginning, it does not matter, but once someone gets one ball in, it is set.
Can I get the black ball in?
The black ball has to be the final ball in the pockets.
