Where did the game “Snooker”(a form of pool) originate?
A. China
B. England
C. India
D. Australia
C. India
The origin of snooker dates back to the 1870s, when billiards was popular among British Army officers stationed in Jubbulpore, India, and several variations of the game were devised during this time by combining the rules of two pool games: pyramid pool, played with fifteen red-coloured balls positioned in a triangle; and black pool, which involved the potting of designated balls.
The word snooker was, at the time, a slang term used in the British Army to describe new recruits and inexperienced military personnel, and Chamberlain used it to deride the inferior performance of a young fellow officer at the table.[
