Ah.  That changes things.

Thaaaaaaat's not *remotely* like what's in *any* version of the
book.  Every book version has both positive and negative segments.
It also doesn't have the 6 piece limit.

I'd really prefer to change the book as little as possible.  That
means lower score is better.  Is it *really* important that we flip
it around, especially at the expense of limiting the alg's
applicability?
