Less than 8 minutes

For Ronnie O'Sullivan to produce the highest score possible in the game of snooker. 147.

Snooker is played on a 6X12' table with rounded corners on the pockets. No "cheating the pocket" for shape on the cue ball as in pool.

How rare is this? Well, Ronnie's done it 15 times...nobody else has. It's at least as rare as a perfect game for a baseball pitcher.

If you care to, watch one of the greatest cueists in the world at work.

In this case, perhaps a fast time isn't what you should brag about.
