Century breaks

A total of 71 century breaks were made during the event. The highest was a maximum break made by Tom Ford in the final frame of his 4–3 win over Shaun Murphy.[5]

gollark: Arguably low headroom is good, as it means that regular people get as much out of the CPU as possible out of the box.
gollark: I would mine things, but the fans would be loud and I don't want to contribute to a deranged zero sum (negative sum really) mess.
gollark: If I remember right they now use proof of work based on executing randomly generated programs.
gollark: You can run any quantum computing stuff on a regular computer. It just might be unusably slow.
gollark: This is done by making it so that they require large amounts of memory (I think this is mostly an issue for FPGAs though?) or basically just general purpose computation (regular CPUs are best at this) or changing the algorithm constantly so ASICs aren't economically viable.
