CumbriAndy Oct 2015 8:35am, 2 Oct 2015 1,053 posts	Quote Pin CumbriAndy Anybody able to shed some light on this? Last night's run earned me points as follows CumbriAndy collected 84681 in coins CumbriAndy reached a post box CumbriAndy found a TomTomato CumbriAndy crossed a bridge CumbriAndy reached a post box CumbriAndy crossed a bridge CumbriAndy squished a bug With a grand total of 85881 points. Given there's no points for reaching post boxes (according to the Game Guide) that clearly means 1200 points for two bridges, a TomTomato and squishing a bug. I thought squishing a bug earned 100 points and I'd expect the TomTomatoes to be worth the same as Goreillas (100 points each, I believed) which implies 500 points per bridge (which I'd never thought about but assumed to be 'free' - like the post boxes). Is anybody able to confirm or correct any of these beliefs/assumptions/deductions?

R4R Oct 2015 8:46am, 2 Oct 2015 2,631 posts	Quote Pin R4R ... or a 'random' worth 1000? your assumptions are the same as mine (100 for gore-illas, TomToms and squishing a bug, and 0 for bridges and post boxes) but there may be an un-documented change in the scoring since the change in sponsor btw I'll be up in your part of the world next week, but northern end, so won't be able to pick any of your flowers

Enjoy your trip up here Philip - thanks for that - it's a good article which 'confirms' the 100 point maximum for squishing a bug. The possibility of an undocumented change had occurred to me (wouldn't be the first time). I was more wondering whether this was the even more likely scenario of an unnoticed notice
