What were you trying to do?
[Please replace this line with your information.]
I was trying to win in cribbage.
What's wrong:
[Please replace this line with your information.]
I like cribbage alot, so it is very irritating for me when the computer scores
my hand wrong. It does it alot. It seems that it scores my hand wrong whenever
some card(s) are used more than once.
For example, the last time that I played it scored my hand as 11 pts when it
should have scored it 15 pts.
The hand was 9h,9d,10c,Jd, and an 8d in the crib.
There was one pair (9h,9d) which is 2 pts.
There were 4 runs [(8d,9h,10c),(8d,9d,10c),(9h,10c,Jd),(9d,10c,Jd)]
at 3 pts. each which is 12 pts.
And there was the Jack which was the same suit as the crib giving 1 pt.
Clearly, 1+2+12=15 not 11.
But, it just didn't jip me by (15-11)=4 pts. Whenever you type what your score
is and its calculations of it differ, then it gives itself 2 pts, because you
cheated. So it jipped me 6 pts.
What should have happened:
[Please replace this line with your information.]
It should have scored fairly.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean where cribbage is found, then your
answer is on /mit/games/$bindir/cribbage.
