Best bit is with those colours you could create an infinite number of bro-bordered pool segments with each bro-bordered segment sharing a side with no other segment of the same colour.

Well that's also true with 2 colors if the bros just make a checkerboard pattern.

What you mean is that an arbitrary number of bros could section the pool into any arbitrary collection of shapes and with only those 4 ball colors you could guarantee there's a way to fill the sections where each bro-bordered segment has a different color on either side.

That one blue ball is upsetting me.

Looks like it's bothering him too

Yeah, blue balls are very bothering.

And they probably didn't stop being giddy about it for days.

If anybody ever asks "what would happen if you put a group of ADHD dads in a pool with pool balls and gave them half a beer each?" then show them this picture

I will save this image for the very likely situation where someone asks this exact question. Thank you for the suggestion!

Very impressive clustering, I must say

Moisturized, flourishing.
