I GOT 79.71 LET'S GOOOOO!!! Oh wait lower is better, isn't it. Shit...  WAIT YEAH HIGHER IS BETTER! LETS GO!!!

The stack of papers bottom right kept killing me, lol, until I realized I should probably center my entire strategy around them. This was great fun, my strategy was not to do any math* but rather just to go off pure intuition. (*which I'm curious: is your intent for players to do mental math with the green and red numbers you provide?)

Yeah that was the idea, that's why the numbers are there :) 


But you are right, I think more of the objects should have been higher points to make it more challenging than just "deal with the papers, then whatever"
