keeping score
This Rosetta Code task (Penney's Game) states to keep score, which I interpreted as playing multiple games (or a better word would be innings; a game would therefore consist of several innings), and keeping a running tally of the number of wins. Am I interpreting "keeping score" correctly? I would think just saying that the human won or lost after just one inning isn't keeping score for the game (of the total number of wins). -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 20:02, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
