Good catch! Fixed. Second part reworded for clarity.

I've reworded this part to make it a bit more clear.

Also. you should eliminate the "+2 points per Singleton" statement. Unlike in the Triple Play game, you do not get points for individual tubes hung on the rack. Your points are solely derived from the size of the horizontal and vertical rows you create. A row of 1 Singleton is covered by your 2^x scoring statement.

I understand the scoring system, but you make an excellent point about this part being confusing as well as extraneous and unnecessary. Consider this part axed.

Some people don't automatically know that 2^5 = 32 etc. You may wish to provide a compact scoring table to go along with your statement.

I didn't have enough room to put one in earlier. But after your suggestion about axing the Singleton part, that freed up about 3-4 lines, just enough to put a scoring table in.
