I invented a new game of pool the other day. I call it “Len always wins by default and not by actual skill”, or LAWBDANBAS for short. Although the situation the title describes is also true of a regular game of 8 or 9 ball, they already have official names, and so I invented this game to call my own.

You need to set up the table as follows:
- The balls 1-6 just next to each pocket, in no particular order.
- The black ball, 8, on the spot
- The white ball in the middle of the D.

The aim of the game is to pot all the numbered balls in ascending order followed by the black. If you pot any of the balls out of order or pot the white, you lose and your opponent claims victory by default.

Yeah…
