On Top Gear (a British car show) they got the world best snooker player in (I've forgotten his name...) They took him over to a snooker table, and said "we're going to see how fast you can pot thsese balls." Seeing as you have to pot a red, colour, red, colour, then all the colours in order, etc. it works out to a minimum of 14 (only 4 reds on the table.) He's about to start, when the presented points to a screen behind him. "Actually," he says "you have to do it faster than The Stig (their in house driver) can drive YOUR CAR (Mercedes SL 500) around our track."
He only fluffed one shot, and made it about 5 seconds faster than the test lap (About 1:50) Full of the presenter saying "Oh, look, he's wheelspinning. Those are your tyres!" etc. Genius.
