Year 2: 1+1
Year 3: 8+1
Year 4: 27+1
Year 5: 64+1

The plus one is what you get for that years drawing. The cubed number is your carry forward for the years you did not get chosen.


This appears to be correct, but reassures me that I don’t understand the formula at all.

Year 1: 1 Cube
Year 2: 1+1 Cube
Year 3: 8+1 x3
Year 4: 27+1 ?
Year 5: 64+1 ?


They are cubing the years, not the actual points

Year 1: 1
Year 2: 1+1 (1x1x1=1)
Year 3: 8+1 (2x2x2=8)
Year 4: 27+1 (3x3x3=27)
Year 5: 64+1 (4x4x4=64)
