What is the maximum number of points a player can score during a frame of snooker while curving around at a 45 degree angle going at a speed of 2 miles per hour with the wind speed of 2 mph on a rug coated snooker table?

In snooker, the maximum number of points that can be scored during a single frame is 147. This is achieved by potting all 15 red balls, each worth 1 point, and subsequently potting the colored balls in sequence: yellow (2 points), green (3 points), brown (4 points), blue (5 points), pink (6 points), and black (7 points). Each color is then returned to its original position and can be potted again for additional points.

The angle and wind speed mentioned in your question are not relevant to determining the maximum number of points in a snooker frame. The speed and direction of the balls are controlled by the player's shots, and the rug coating on the table doesn't affect the scoring.

So, regardless of the angle, wind speed, or table surface, the maximum number of points that can be scored in a frame of snooker is 147.
