umm... no... reread what you just quoted... "the *height* of the tallest stack"

this has nothing to do with how many boxes are in the stack. you can have a stack 5 high that has 1 box in it if the opponent is holding it up.

so if we have only 1 box in the scoring zone (the one raised to 5 SHU) then the base score is total - height in SHU which is 1 - 5 = -4

now -4(5) = -20

negatives *are* possible... read the very bit that you quoted
