Too much slow equipment. If I had anything like 
enough *time*, I would have been able to answer my own 
questions!

Maybe.  Or maybe the program is like a juggler that 
occasionally cannot keep up.  

Michael K!
You did not say:-  What is *supposed* to happen in the 
program when the program fails to complete the 
calculations "in time"?
--- Is it supposed to insert extra time enough to complete 
the calculations?
--- Or is it supposed to then allow interpenetration? 
Or...

PS.

It's a hot machine. But my wife recommends a No 3 
cast iron skillet with plenty of onions. 

re-PS. Who has by now spotted what prevents Michael K's
FB_Billiards1.bas being backwards compatible with
