Ok We Had Fun With The Last Snooker Conundrum.......
49 Answers
How can a player pot the yellow three times in a row? no fouls by the player concerned.
Answers
Player A commits a foul and leaves Player B snookered on the one remaining Red. Player B nominates the Yellow as the Red, pots it and the actual Red. He then pots the Yellow as a Colour after a Red and pots it again as the first of the remaining Colours.

judge:"I understand you are asking whether he can be forced to take his shot and TCL has found the rule that says he cannot." - yes and that answers the question
"But, and I may be getting hold of the wrong end of the stick, you still seem to believe that a player who is eight or more points in arrears can win a frame when only the black remains:" - no TCLs answer has prevented that belief, I suspect that is the purpose of the rule.
"// judge: "There would be no point in making the player in the lead by 8 points play again because the worst he can do is give away seven. " - yes then the opponent could win with the black...//
No he couldn't. The frame is over and he will have won by a single point. Play does not continue after a foul is committed when only the black remains." - If the rule TCL pointed out did not exist then play could continue if player A missed the black, QED the purpose of the rule highlighted by TCL.
"// that's the point of this question. FOTB is irrelevant, it only applies if both players can win with the black.//
No it doesn't. It applies regardless of the score."
- err no, so when ronnie o sullivan is about to pot the black to complete his 147, he mis cues and thus fouls on the black, forfitting the game?? I think Not, the potential score must be relevant, ie it has to be a black ball game. In any case the original question has now been answered.

Any foul on the final black ends the game with the usual 7 points being awarded to the other player. There's no forfitting of the frame, Ronie would've won ot 140-7.
