Timewasting game...

OK, so I went on one of those 'fun' management training courses the other day about improving something or other and was all about buzzwords and 'culture mapping'. Bleh. :(

However, they did have quite a good game. I want you all to try it.



So here's a star with the numbers 1-10 on it. Print it, or draw one out.
Every time you join two numbers together with a line, you get 10 points.
You don't have to join the numbers in numerical order.
Every time the line you draw crosses the black lines of the star shapes, you lose 1 point.
You have one minute to score as many points as possible.

Post your score here. I'll share mine later and if you beat it, you win a prize. :)

there are 10 pink lines, getting me 10 points each = 100
there are 10 green lines getting me 8 points each = 80
there are 4 purple lines from each corner, getting me 5 lots of 4*8 points = 160
there are 5 orange lines, drawing the star pentogram style getting me 8 points each = 40

100+80+160+40=420 and I can't do maths ;)
