How to read the fuse timers and pick your next bomb
Every ball on a Fuse table is lit and burning down on its own timer, and the level ends when any one of them runs out. So the real puzzle is not which shot you can make, it is which shot you have to make now.
Scan the whole table before you take a shot rather than aiming at the first bomb you notice. The one with the shortest fuse sets your deadline, whether or not it is the easiest ball to reach.
When two bombs are burning down together, take the harder one first while you still have the time to set it up. Leaving the awkward shot until last is how runs end.
It is worth spending a shot on position when the fuses are long and worth taking the simplest available pot when they are short. Reading that difference is most of what separates a long run from a short one.
