If you have the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8, the way to get the best score would be looking at the highest numbers and going down to the lowest numbers. First you look at the eight, the eight cannot be in the first column in the left section as nothing else is bigger than eight. What you could then do is put 8 in the first column in the right section and seven in the first left section. That then means you now have the numbers 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. Like the eight you can't put the 6 in the first left section so you would want to put it on the right first section under the 8, then you can have the number five in the left first one under the 7, you can then put 4 and 3 in the last places on the left and 2 and 1 on the right then your total would be 127.
