Re: 3636 ... double-double? We've had this discussion in the past. '11' is a double ... meaning two identical digits. '36' is a double ... meaning a pair of non-identical digits Thus, consecutive '36's should probably be called a double-double. We've discussed renaming '11' from a double to a single-double, but then when we get into triples, it gets so confusing. So, we kinda' let the semantics of "double-double" cover a myriad of posting situations. A double-double, when the double is identical digits (like '11'), is in reality, a quadruple ('1111'). You get more points for the quad. And, even more for the quintuple. We have not set up any point value yet for a sextuple. Odds are against ever needing a heptuple or an octuple value.
