Use 3 of the available balls to solve the equation ...
8 odd numbers. Needs an even number so unless there's a cheat play, can't be done. JMO.
(3X5)+15=30
(3X7)+9=30
5X(11-5)=30
5X(15-9)=30
you didn't say I couldn't change anything else. three odd numbers can never add up to an even number....
there are other combinations as well.

My point supported!

You invert for the six ball is the correct answer ... I accidentally placed it there upside down by mistake 
Use to do this with the pool balls themselves but had to take the line out of the 6 ball so that the hint was removed to really made you think.

OK , finally I think I counted 8teen of them. But that is it, I quit , not going to the coffee bean pile as I don't drink the stuff nor can stand the smell of it.......besides the thread says if got nothing better to do which I have tons of. Just got more parts for my 93 Rosie so will concentrate on what I know best and leave this for you guys to kill time with.......

OK … I promise to keep this one really simple
.
Frank's father has 5 sons.
If the names of his first 4 sons are …
Fafa
and
Fefe
and
Fifi
and
Fofo
respectively, then what would be the name of his 5th son ?

The 9 cannot be inverted to become a 6...
A 6 would be a low-ball in pool and it would be solid green, not striped yellow.

Yes you are correct and I also realized the 15 has the stripe if the 10 ball … I shoulda took the time and photo'd my pool balls and then erase the underscore-line … got lazy but it was about the numbers and not intended to be about the aspects of 8 ball ... oh well my bad ...

OK … I'll step it up a tad (although maybe pretty easy for some) …
Replace the "x" below with the most common solution to the pattern that many learn before,
but will never be asked, on their Grade 9 School Aptitude Test?
1 3 5
2 4 x

Pretty easy for many on this forum I guess

I would need a 6 beside the 4 and a 7 beside the 5... with the R just below.
It was a good one actually.
You are absolutely correct Graham. The picture should have used an upside down six ball....
I spotted the stripe too but given that it's lacking the orientation underline and the fact that there is no rule against it it's the next best thing outside of using math trickery like factorials, changing the base system or other wizardry I've long forgotten. I think the point is you can do more things with balls than numbers.

Would love to get deeper into this but am a little busy today....
