That works - though there should be a penalty for guessing overtime too - otherwise I'd always just guess 9999 minutes :)

If you notice, I accounted for that. The higher your guess is, the lower your score can be. If I guess 1 minute and finish in 1 minute, I get (let's say) one million points. If I guess 9999 minutes, then I'll get the score for 9999 minutes even if I finish sooner, for a score of (let's say) 2 points.

Ah ok - now I get it.
