"General Knowledge Quiz"

What General forum doesn't have a General Knowledge quiz, well, now this one does.
In this thread General Knowledge questions will be asked and you, the people, must give answers. After this first question, the winner will be stated here and then will have to give a question; and so on and so forth. Please don't use the internet, cause where's the fun in that.

The author of the question has to tell people who guess whether they are correct or wrong.

Rules
1)If no-one gets the answer within 24 hours of it being posted then the person who set it must ask a new one.
2)If no new question is set within 5 hours someone else will have to set a new question.
3)If you find out the answer on the internet(i.e.Google,Wikipedia) then you can't enter.
4)If you answer a question, you will get a point, providing that you also set a question.
5)No points will be added to the setter's total if no-one answers their question (Because than you could just set a really hard question that no-one would get)

Thank God I have done my duty.

Ok, new question:

Famous last words, what were Horatio Nelson's before he died?

How come errm i have more than 1 point and yet not on the leader board? heh :)

I just read how it's possible to get a break of 162. I dont ever see it happening though as it would involve giving away 155 points in fouls.

gah and i put 132 first as well but then changed it as i took the black ball out at the end of the colours :-(

Exactly
1 free ball + pink = 7
15 reds and pinks 15 x 7 = 105 (112)
5 remaining colours = 20 (132)

Its not 125?

15 reds (15 points)
15 pinks (90 points)
yellow (2 points)
green (3 points)
brown (4 points)
blue (5 points)
pink (6 points)

=125 points

The only way you can get more is if you include fouls, then you could get 132.

gah i know it now, screwed up adding the colours at the end up
