Bring water to a rolling boil. Add the corn. Return the water to the boil as quickly as possible and time for 3 minutes. Some cooks go so far as to say, as soon as the water returns to the boil, the corn is cooked. The point here is, keep the cooking time to a minimum, to retains corn's sweetness and flavor.
Billiards is played with three balls: white, red and yellow. The white and yellow balls are the cue balls of the two opponents respectively and the objective is to score some set points. The player who scores the required points first, wins. In snooker, there are 15 red and six coloured balls and one cue ball.
The game completes by sinking the last six coloured balls from yellow to black in order of their point values and high score wins. The main difference between Billiard and Snooker tables is the size and shape of the pockets that are made to suit the size of balls used and the play of the respective games. The rails for Billiard pockets at the corners are square cut with much larger openings to suit standard 2 Â¼â balls than Snooker pockets.
