The stick used by players in which sport has a shaft a head and a pocket?

A: Lacrosse  B: Ice Hockey  C: Snooker

answer: C!  🤣

[Hazlinny]

Am guessing the contestant only heard the word "pocket"?

[wolf63]

To be honest I would have guessed C too.

I don't know anything about the other two.

[Old_Geezer]

You know the snooker cue has no pocket, surely.

[wolf63]

Are you not meant to get the ball into a pocket?  

[jourdain2]

I think I would have got Lacrosse (early reading about girls' boarding schools when small) but I can understand the association with 'pocket' which brought about the answer.

[Old_Geezer]

Not a pocket on the "stick", no.

[Gill1941]

I hated lacrosse at school.

Probably more difficult if you haven't played the game.

I caught the end of todays elisode and I disagree with one of the questions.

The question was what series of books does I Shall Wear Midnight belong to.

The answer was Discworld which is technically correct, but what the Governess answered - the Tiffany Aching books is correct if you are Discowrld fan, as the books are sometimes grouped into series:
