Two guys come up with a scoring system for their new game.
- Okay, so when you score a point, that’s one point, right?
- Nah. It should be, like, 15 points.
- Yeah, make it more exciting. Like, right away - boom! 15 points! Deal with that, opponent.
- Okay, so… every time you score a point, you actually get 15?
- Correct. Well, for the first couple points. But then once you’re up to 30, the next time you score you only get 10 more.
- Wh- which brings you up to 40 points..?
- Uh-huh.
- This isn’t making much sense to me.
- Well, most games are so boring. We gotta liven things up. Shake the system around. Dare to do the unexpected.
- So the scoring -if I’m getting this right- goes zero, 15, 30, 40.
- Mmmmmaybe instead of “zero”… No, you’re gonna think this is stupid.
- I’m sure it can’t be more imbecilic than anything else you’ve suggested.
- Well, how about “love”?
- …I was wrong.
