Well, in my mind there can't be any question that this is EXACTLY what first wanted...

Lets face it... if you stack the maximum of 6 crates you can only get 36" high. What does the rules manual show for point scoring?

a. 0 < H ≤ 10.5” (26.67cm) scores 0 points
b. 10.5” (26.67cm) < H ≤ 16.5” (41.9cm) scores 10 points
c. 16.5” (41.9cm) < H ≤ 22.5” (57.2cm) scores 20 points
d. 22.5” (57.2cm) < H ≤ 28.5” (72.4cm) scores 30 points
e. 28.5” (72.4cm) < H ≤ 34.5” (87.6cm) scores 40 points
f. 34.5” (87.6cm) < H ≤ 40.5” (102.9cm) scores 50 points
g. 40.5” (102.9cm) < H ≤ 46.5” (118.1cm) scores 60 points
h. An additional 10 points for every 6.0” (15.24cm) increment above 46.5” (118.1cm)

How else could you get above 46" without lifting....
If they didn't want us to lift they would have capped at some arbitrary level.
