It's 147. Getting the black after each of the 15 reds equals 120 points, then sinking the yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black earns an additional 27.

Well, after Googling it, it is 155, but it requires some very unusual circumstances.
 

155 technicaly, but I guess 147 is the 'natural' maximum break you can get, and what they refer to as a 'maximum' in a game.
 
155 with a free ball - never been done
I myself playing league snooker my highest break was 42.....
A very hard game plus match temperament needed.....
Only ever seen two 100 breaks in a club league game........
A game about striaght lines, and run and stun ......with position.......
I got pasted a few to times tbh

Your league must have been poor joe.... my club had players who would knock in century breaks quite often... I was never that good myself like .. 47 best I ever scored in a break and have struggled to top that since.

It may have been plenty of 50 break guys on occasion never handicapped.......
 

While a 155 is possible it’s extremely unlikely so 147 is the usual accepted high.

“In theory, breaks of up to 155 are possible if the referee awards a in theory, breaks of up to 155 are possible if the referee awards a free ball before any of the reds have been potted. In practice, breaks above 147 are extremely unusual, having occurred only once in professional competition, when Jamie Burnett made a break of 148 in the qualifying stages of the 2004 UK Championship. before any of the reds have been potted.”

So Joe is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything? Douglas Adams is a horrible man.
