Response to Polyplay memory game scoring problem

from phil (plamat@club-internet.fr)
Memorize 12 symbols (taken among 6 possible forms) doesn't seem unhuman (I personally memorize it by giving them letters a-b-c-d-e-f). More of that there is often series of symbols (three or four of a kind in a row)

So I think it can lead to infinite play ...

Anyway we must decide between these choices : (a) let the bug like it this and only take the higher score reached with the game scoring system (b) take Lagavulin file (I've checked his formulas : everything is correct) and apply the "corrected scoring" (c) archive the game

My feeling is that b is the worst : as it is an exponential scoring, it can lead to billions of billions scores !

I tried to play (a) : it could be funny ; without mistakes it leads to 63000+ (i don't remember the exact score) according to lag's file ; but this score can be improved with volunteer errors, but then you have less time and it leads to end of your play [I will submit soon an input showing that]

So I would say (a) ... or (c) ; i'm waiting for your advices

But an editor should edit Motumbo's score ...
