Find-a-Shot Puzzle #07

There is a dead ball shot in this mass of balls somewhere, and it’s your job to find it.

Good luck, and let me know what you think.

You could kick in the 1 Ball, I suppose, if you happen to be Efren Reyes. Or you could try the 3-5 combo in the corner, but that‘s even more difficult. And caroming the 7 off the 13 looks good except that the 6 Ball is in the way. Stumped?

You can still make the 7-13 carom. It seems like magic, but the 6 will just get out of the way and the 7 will roll right to the hole. Amazing but true. Try it.

    I might be crazy but, Hit the cue ball into the 4 so that it caroms off and hits the 7 first into the 6, then rubs off the 13 and goes in. But… if that is dead then the cue ball into the 13 would be dead too

    I’d try the 13 with some draw.
