I don't see in what way I have to think here?

there are some cards in the game which are scoring. so all the hearts (each card one point; they gave the name for the game) and the queen of spades (13 points). the cards you get are counting the score. this means that the points are negative. at all there are 26 points in each round (13 in hearts, 13 in spades).

Some of the scores gained for a particular hand do not total 26, and as a result the total score is not a multiple of 26 (when it should be after each hand). So something is wrong with the score. However:
1) That does not imply the computer cheated.
2) Whether the computer cheated or not...?

You're very close Kevin. You've got the right idea, but probably overthinking it.

Re: not dr0d : not dr0d : 2 North (0)

I have read this thread and I'm afraid I'm none the wiser.

I don't play any card games, apart from a little Bridge at lunchtime at work (and we've not reached the point of scoring that game yet). I have no idea what this game is supposed to be, nor where the computer comes into it, so I am completely stuck (which means I can't finish this hold! grrrrrrr :angry

)

Help please?

Elfstone.

Thanks Kevin - I'll go and try to figure out what a hand is and how they add up.

Elfstone.

If you were wondering, the reason you don't know about the game is probably because you use a Mac

Its a game that comes with every single pc (well, windows anyway), so anyone owning one tends to have played it at some point or another.
Anyway, you don't need to know much about it.

Elf.

A hand corresponds to a row in the scoreboard. For example, if two consecutive rows of the scoreboard are:

P1   P2   P3   P4
15   12    4   23
18   20   17   25

The the number of points earned for the hand corresponding to the 2nd row is (18 - 15) + (20 - 12) + (17 - 4) + (25 - 23) = 3 + 8 + 13 + 2 = 26.
