Zero points? Seriously?
"…and is worth 0 global points."
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
