haven't received point for hitting target(4723) on stage 6 gigabyte ambient 2 core.

January 20, 2016 at 3:51:39 AM UTC

Fixed @ksateaaa23

stage 6 fixed. total points should have been 4 but it shows 3.

 

@4 points and 2 misses of target by 1 point in stage 4 &5 should put me in 3rd place in the competition.
