basically, you want the opponent's score to be 1 less than yours, cause you get your score plus 2 x theirs

in a perfect world your stack would be equal to the number of boxes, because x times x is always bigger than x+5 time x-5

5x5=25
3x7=21
etc. etc.

the best stack height would be as close as to your other box # as possible
