🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 B ⭕️ Discarder: 120, remaining players: 60 each. Total 240
🟨⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ C ⭕️ Discarder: 60, remaining players: 30 each. Total 120
⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ D ⭕️ Discarder: 50, remaining players 25 each. Total 100
Explanation:
ANSWER:
✅ Correct Answer: B) Total 240
Here’s the breakdown:
Hand Played: 2025, Line 4 → Value 30
Joker-free win → Double to 60
Discarder penalty → Double again to 120
120 + 60 + 60 = 240
❌ Answer A) Total 200
This calculation used the wrong hand:
Hand Played: 2025, Line 2 → Value 25
Joker-free win → Double to 50
Discarder penalty → Double again to 100
100 + 50 + 50 = 200
❌ Answer C) Total 120
Correct hand, but the Joker-free bonus was missed:
Hand Played: 2025, Line 4 → Value 30
Discarder penalty → Double to 60
60 + 30 + 30 = 120
❌ Answer D) Total 100
Both the wrong hand and the Joker-free bonus were missed:
Hand Played: 2025, Line 2 → Value 25
Discarder penalty → Double to 50
50 + 25 + 25 = 100
Key Takeaway: Always start with the correct hand and its base value, then apply the bonuses in order. Don’t forget the Joker-free bonus, it makes a big difference in your total!So, how’d you do?
