302:. There are four levels in the first stage, five in the second, and six in the third. The order of levels repeats after every third stage, however, one stage is added in this repetition. For example, levels 1–1 to 1-4 are repeated as levels 4–1 to 4-4, but level 4-5 is added. Levels 4–1 to 4-5 are repeated as levels 7–1 to 7–5, but level 7-6 is added. This is also true for the other levels, except that for the 13th and 14th stage, with five additional levels in 13th stage and four in 14th stage before entering level 14–5, the last level.

As one advances to the next stage, the least valuable jewel/ring drops out and a new one is added in the most valuable spot. A new ring appears every three stage. Thus at the 14th and highest stage, one would expect the mean jewel to have the value

At the end of every round (and at times during the round) jewels, rings, and coins are freed. Every stage has coins, and coins have a value of 250 points at all stages of game play (one collects coins less for their value than because every 30 coins earns an extra life). In contrast to the behavior

In general, 100 points are awarded for each sphere destroyed. The simple destruction of three spheres thus earns 300 points, four spheres 400, etc., but if the players arrange things such that they destroy three spheres which bring together three more spheres, the second set of spheres has a 2X
