First, explain that these are scores. The documentation of the variable says that scores are displayed, so I don't think it's necessary to say that. > Second, explain what they mean and how hits are scored.

And the way the score is derived is liable to change. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/
