Talent pool

Sir, – I write in reference to Feilim O'Caoimh's letter regarding arts degrees and prowess on the pool table (January 30th). Perhaps his winning streak was due to his understanding of the principles of friction, velocity, kinetic energy, momentum, geometry and the importance of having a straight shaft. – Yours, etc,
