1. The character George Glass was made up by which of these characters on "The Brady Bunch?"

Answer: Jan Brady

3. How many balls, in total, are used in a standard game of snooker?

Answer: 22

There's the (white) cue ball, 15 red balls worth one point each, and one ball of each of these colors: yellow (worth two points), green (three), brown (four), blue (five), pink (six), and black (seven). The maximum break under normal circumstances, or the most points possible at a single time up, is 147 points. To get this, you must alternate sinking, or potting, a red ball and the black ball.

Then, when all red balls are gone, you must pot each of the other colored balls.
