hints. One point is deducted for each extra completed minute (up to 50 extra
minutes). Two points are deducted for each hint (see "HINT" below). If you

number, and to explain the logic behind its hint. The usual sequence is:
1. Press HINT. – This displays H in one cell.
2. Press HINT again if you want to see the machine's logic (how it deduces

reappear (possibly accompanied by some 0s).
