This article is from the Pool & Billiards FAQ, by Bob Jewett with numerous contributions by others.

27. What are those funny numbers people post to the group?

Those are input to a program which will draw a table with balls in
the (cryptically) given positions, if you have a web browser. You
can move the balls around and set up other shots and get the series

Unfortunately, unless you have Macromedia Shockwave/Flash, you cannot
even display the positions with that page.
