Because it's a Billiards table

I first learned about billiards from the wonderful video Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land, specifically this part which has a great explanation of the strategy.

Yep I'm bad at math so would be bad at the game, but damn that's really cool. Like when he was first doing it I was amazed at how good he was just eyeballing everything

You unlocked an old memory of mine.

When I posted it I was hoping that would happen to someone :)

That’s because you don’t need any holes to beat it

Maybe they're carom billiards tables?

It's a ladies' pool table

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Those still have holes, they are just smaller.

[–] mossy_@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think they meant women's things don't have pockets

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

That or the pockets would be fake or too small to serve their intended purpose.
