looks as if you are correct . . . The player breaks and all 15 reds are potted (not likely but theoretically possible): 15 points He takes one yellow with these reds: 17 points He pots yellow, green, brown, blue and pink: 37 points He then pots the black but goes in off with the white so the black does not count! Total score: 37 points
I think it would be just about plausible to pot all 15 reds on the first shot (although I don't quite know how...), follows by a yellow, then all the colours, for a maximum total clearance of 27+2+15 = 44.
Are you maybe thinking about a foul on the last ball?

I don't think fouling on the black would make it count as a true clearance -- the foul making the last shot invalid, and, strictly speaking, the black would be respotted (before the frame ends), so I don't feel that's really a clearance.
