    I had copied and pasted rules from a different peehs thread and only realised after i had a heap of submissions that it said 0 for Ace. It doesn't make a whole lot of difference to scoring anyway.

    For clarity. Score for ace is zero. Score for incorrect is sheep score + 1, all other scores as is.

    Are you sure that's not the table after question 2?

    Should I not have 8 instead of 15?
