Abstract
This paper discusses how to solve the Twelve Billiard Balls Puzzle with AO* algorithm first, then takes further effort to enhance the efficiency of the algorithm and finds out all the solutions of the puzzle. By analyzing the problem with more than twelve balls and the corresponding solutions, we found the generic law of the solutions and proved the law. At the end of this paper, we discussed the potential application field of AO* algorithm.
