[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 187441, member: 3745"] This isn't necessary. The match sequence could just operate on the ones digit instead of the tens digit. Wizard of Oz in fact does it exactly that way. Yes, the dummy zero is to artificially inflate the score. But it works. It's more exciting to score 5000 points than 500 even if the difference doesn't really mean anything. It's also aesthetically pleasing, that it makes scoring values and final scores look more rounded and elegant and less like a jumbled mess of numbers. I like the dummy zero. [/QUOTE]
