In billiards, why was I lead to believe the order of the balls mattered?
I still feel like it does.. I always rack them in color order, whereas everyone I play against just puts yellow solid at the front and 8 ball in the center
Clearly I'm the weirdo, but I don't understand it
"believe that the past tense of 'lead' is 'lead,' not 'led.'"
My god, how pathetic is your life, Jesus Christ

I can't explain why people I don't know led you to believe whatever they led you to believe, which I'm not even sure they led you to believe because you clearly think someone led you to believe that the past tense of "lead" is "lead," not "led."
That being said, in the billiards game of eight-ball, the yellow one ball is put on point, the black eight ball is put center of row three. Then, starting at the solid yellow one ball, balls are to alternate to stripe then solid, continuing all the way around the periphery of the triangle. That will result in both bottom corners of the triangle being solid, so in order to give equal chance of a solid or a stripe going in off the break, one of the solids in the two bottom corners are switched out for a stripe.
