Solution1 : (Back to Problem1)
Striker hits D in such a way that D removes the piece A from B's path to the pocket. In turn striker hits black piece C which make B to pocket into top right pocket. my-carrom-answer1.gif (2968 bytes)
Solution 2 :(Back to Problem2)
Striker hits B in such a way that B removes from the path of C and striker continues to pocket A. In the  next turn c can be pocketed. my-carrom-answer2.gif (2901 bytes)
Solution 3 :(Back to Problem3)
Striker hits A in such a way that A goes to top left pocket. In the mean time striker travels and hits B so that B moves towards top left pocket. During the next turn it is much easier to pocket B since it is so closer to top left pocket. my-carrom-answer3.gif (2726 bytes)
Solution 4 :(Back to Problem4)
Striker is placed in such a way it touches the piece A. Striker is sent to somewhere middle of pocket and the piece. Piece will be pocketed surprising you. Check it out myself. my-carrom-answer4.gif (2568 bytes)
Solution 5 :(Back to Problem5)
For AB aim the striker to the point of contact of AB with 30-40 degrees vertical angle.

For CD aim striker so that if C were not there D goes to left edge of the right pocket(from a straight shot). This will make C to go around the pocket and D to the pocket.
