Hint
There are 13 loaves in a baker's dozen.
Answer
Loaves in a dozen baker's dozen.
Reasoning
A baker's dozen is 13, so a dozen baker's dozen is:
12 x 13 = 156 loaves
There are 15 red balls in snooker, and each of these can be followed by the black ball, and then the colours in order gives:
15 x (1 + 7) + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 147 points
This can rise to 155 if the break follows a foul.
