Dave,

After reading them a couple of times, I now agree with you that nothing has changed in the stated rules between the original manual and Update #1.

All the confusion came from Woody's example during kickoff. He put the idea in all of our heads that a crate on its side could push you into the next SHU, and therefore count as two crates. I now see that nothing in writing ever confirmed that. Update #1 now states that SHUs are rounded down, so that a stack of x is a stack of x -- no matter what the orientation of each of the crates.

I assume you always had that interpretation based on the scoring in your animation you counted the stack of 7 with one upside-down crate as 7 (which I used to think that you got wrong -- sorry!)

Are you (unofficially) in concurrence with my interpretation?

Thanks,

Aidan


P.S. - I guess the moral of this story (like in life) is believe what you read, not what you hear.
