Since there are only 15 red balls, it is obvious that this is maximal and unique. The total is 147, the highest possible break. Ronnie O'Sullivan took only five minutes and 27 seconds to make this break at the 1997 World Championship. This is "easy" only if you are the world champion. - N. J. A. Sloane, Oct 15 2022
