+This is a minimal solution. You'll need to EXAMINE lots of things for this solution to make sense. Your ultimate goal is to get a girl's phone number, but you also have three sub-goals. You earn 1 point for each goal achieved. The score is indicated in parentheses as (+A=B), where A is points earned and B is cumulative points earned.
