Technically, it doesn't matter if you do or not. Your resulting score will be exactly the same (for example, 8 * 9 vs. 9 * 8). However, if you attempt to stack that last crate, you're risking (a) accidentally knocking over the stack, (b) an opponent knocking over the stack when you could have been defending it, and (c) not releasing the crate before time expires, in which case I don't believe it counts towards your score at all.

Excellent! This is exactly what I was looking for. Now for extra credit, how about a formal proof of this
