Section 3 - Snookered 12 PCs @ 50 secs

TC5 R/Y in GS2126

As you must know, in snooker a break is achieved by hitting the white, which hits the red; then hit the white, which hits a colour; and then you start again by hitting the white, which hits the red etc. During a break you score 1 point for each red, and for the colours - 2 for yellow, 3 for green, 4 brown, 5 blue, 6 pink, 7 black.

Using a similar principle find your way to TC5. My break was worth 19 points and I only pocketed one type of colour.
