What is the highest possible score in one shot in snooker?
The question as phrased does not limit the points to one break. At the end of a frame, with the addition of various fouls and free balls, the total SCORE for a player, can be higher than 162(the 155 maximum break and the 7 points received for the opponent hitting/potting the black when playing a red). This score could include various foul shots and other breaks.
In theory there is no limit to the amount someone can score in a break of snooker. It would depend on the relative playing skills of the two players. A very good player might get a very high score (multiple snookers, foul shots, breaks) against a poor opponent.
If a player begins with a foul shot and leaves the opponent snookered on all reds, the opponent then may select a 'free ball'. They may then pot it as a red and then pot the black, then reds and blacks, and all the colours. Their break would be 155 .This is the maximum BREAK in snooker.
What is the least number of balls you need to pot to win a game of snooker?
I suspect that this is a "generated" question.
In snooker, you may score points in two ways...potting balls, and collecting points from an opponents foul.
The maximum available points from potting balls is seems to be 147, but with election of free balls could theoretically go higher.
The maximum available points from opponents foul penalty strokes is unlimited.
The answer is 0. You could theoretically pot no balls, but continually hook your opponent until you are so far ahead in points that he concedes.
