	In order to maximize the score under these rules it is a good strategy to save objects with high points as late in the combo as possible and start the combo with low points objects like [[Jewel\|yellow gems]] for example.		In order to maximize the score under these rules it is a good strategy to save objects with high points as late in the combo as possible and start the combo with low points objects like [[Jewel\|yellow gems]] for example.

	As an example consider a combo with five [[Jewel\|yellow gems]], five [[Jewel\|red gems]] and one [[Jewel\|green gem]]. These objects can be combined in many ways, but ~~let’s~~ try a few ones. Let y denote a [[Jewel\|yellow gem]], r a [[Jewel\|red gem]] and g a [[Jewel\|green gem]]. One combo could look like this:		As an example consider a combo with five [[Jewel\|yellow gems]], five [[Jewel\|red gems]] and one [[Jewel\|green gem]].

	===The [[Jewel\|green gem]] problem===		===The [[Jewel\|green gem]] problem===
	There is quirk in the game concerning the [[Jewel\|green gem]] taken in combo with a [[Laser-Washing Powder\|Power-up]]. If the [[Jewel\|green gem]] is object number 16 or higher it ~~won’t~~ count in said combo. According to the rules above it should give 12.000 points in combo or even 15.000 points if it were object number 21 or higher in the combo. The reason for not allowing 12.000 or 15.000 combo points for the [[Jewel\|green gem]] is probably that it thus would be too easy to reach the maximum score in the levels concerned.

The reason for not allowing 12.000 or 15.000 combo points for the [[Jewel\|green gem]] is probably that it thus would be too easy to reach the maximum score in the levels concerned.

	However, there are at most three places where this is a problem. One place is famously the secret room in [[The Summit Beyond the Clouds\|SBTC]] part 2. Be careful to include the [[Jewel\|green gem]] in this combo as object number 11 – 15, otherwise it ~~won’t~~ count.		However, there are at most three places where this is a problem.

	However, it turns out that the [[Jewel\|green gem]] only counts for 1500 points in relation to the scoring limit, even though it is taken with a [[Laser-Washing Powder\|Power-up]]. The remaining 1500 points are carried over the limit in much the same way as the bonus points in the previous section.
