    The score depends on how fast you can get from 1 to x. A stopwatch is started when you tap 1 and stopped when you tap the last number.

Suppose you take 1 second to finish each level, your points in all levels will be: 320, 500, 720, 980, 1280, 1620.

      Can't seem to do better than 1770; but isn't what you're measuring mouse ability rather than memory... ;-)
