"Okay, first the triangle of nearest rail, pocket intended, and ball. If the triangle is over half the length of the table on it's shortest side you need to pick another pocket, generally." She held her cue up over the ball, ignoring the others in the way to help outline the triangle she was going for. "With me still?"
Good, because it got complicated then. She broke the larger triangle into smaller triangles between each blocking ball, until, if one could picture it, it was miasma of angles. But there was a path through all that. A path she also outlined by explaining how to bisect certain triangles safely and the greatest probability of not sinking opponent balls while getting the angles and spins necessary...
...and then she shot, and sunk. "See why's it's easier to just call the number of banks?" INNOCENT SMILE!
What? Mathematics like this were vital on a battlefield. Best to learn it well!
