I can think of only one Art Garfunkel solo hit ("All I Know"),
so the obvious guess is Paul Simon.
Maybe this is trick question and Paul Simon never hit number one
in the British charts and Art Garfunkel did with "All I Know."
Of course maybe you thought I would think like that and go with
the obvious answer. Maybe you would think that I would think that
you would think that ... I'm making this too hard.
I will just go with my original thought of Paul Simon and hope I
didn't just fall into a trap.

You're supposed to be responding to these so quickly that
you'll miss these little deviations. Isn't "lost" more
apt than "light?"

Just like I added extra info that Eddy Grant does not spell

I forgot that what the British call "billiards" is not the same game
as what the Americans call "billiards." For the latter, there are most
certainly 16 balls (15 numbered balls + the cue ball). I assume (not having

I'm American and have been familiar with billiards since
I was a child. Perhaps you are thinking of pocket billiards,
which as far as I know, is synonymous with pool.
