Just a quick clarification – You don't need to actually play the 0 point puzzles, and we aren't necessarily expecting you to! It's simply there as a reference in case you find yourself helping someone new to Foldit.

but foldit goes under the heading 'game science'.

A game is a competition - any competition is usually settled by points of some sort. So if there are no points (or equivalent) then it no longer qualifies as a game - QED

Sorry - I misunderstood - this is a reference exercise. *facepalm
