Can you shoot backwards off a foul in pool?
If I am understanding your question correctly, you are asking that with a cue in the kitchen after a scratch in eight ball, can you hit an object ball that is also in the kitchen. If this is the question, then the answer is absolutely yes. You must place the cue ball as close to the kitchen line as possible, make sure you hit the long rail outside of the kitchen, and put enough English (side spin) to come back into the kitchen and hit the ball you are trying for. It take practice and quite a bit of English to pull off this shot. Depending on where the object ball is located, you may have to jack up the back of your cue stick for maximum English.

A snooker in pool can be deliberate (by your opponent) or accidental (by yourself). It is when the a straight line path from the cue ball to the object ball is blocked by another ball which may not be hit.
How do you pot a snooker ball?
To put spin or side on a cue ball you strike the ball off-centre. So imagine a point in the centre of the ball which is half way up from the table and directly opposite to the direction you wish the ball to travel. If you strike the ball around this point you will force the ball to spin. So strike below this point to put backspin on the ball, above this point to put top-spin and either side to put side-spin. Obviously you can impart both top and side or bottom and side by striking the ball towards a diagonal. The spin you put on the ball will act to move the ball in the direction of the spin. This is most notable in back-spin where once the forward momentum of the ball is taken by striking another ball the backspin cause the ball to move in th opposite direction of the strike. The amount of spin placed on the ball can take affect as the ball is moving, so enough side-spin can cause the ball to follow a curved path. The effects of the spin can be improved by tilting to follow the type of spin you wish t impart; so hold the butt of the cue higher to get better backspin or hold the butt lower to get better top-spin. Doing this with side spin becomes difficult as you have to adjust the angle of the strike. In its most extreme you can strike downwards towards the side of the ball to cause it to curve - this takes a lot of practice and you have to be careful you do not damage the table. However I find the most important part of putting spin on the ball is ensuring that you follow through the stroke with your cue and make the stroke smooth and decisive. If you snatch at the cue you will either hit the ball in the wrong place or scoop the ball causing it to jump. I hope you have found this helpful.
What is third ball to be potted in the sequence of colors in snooker?
It can be any ball colour since the game ends when the difference in points is too big to overcome for the other player. That player will then give up. In the majority of games the decision will only be clear at the end and therefore it will often be either the pink or the black ball that will be potted last.
The last part of the snooker game consists of potting the non-red colored balls in order of their value: yellow (2), green (3), brown (4), blue (5), pink (6) and black (7).
The game is formally over (a) when the final pink is potted and the difference in points between the two players is more than 7 points. In this case the black does not need to be potted and if an attempt to pot it is made and the pot was not in, the game ends formally with the black still on the table, or (b) when the final black ball is potted and the two players do not have the same score (if they do, the black ball will be re-spotted)
