Stumbleweed

Here's another silly Tumbleweed-type game that might conceivably work.

(1) You can make a claim for points at any time, in the form "X points" as before. Maximum claim is 9 points.
(2) The number of points you claim must be equal to the FINAL DIGIT of the number of minutes between your post and the previous post. For example, if the previous post was at 10:29 and you post at 10:56, you can claim 7 points (difference 27 minutes). No points are scored for invalid claims. (Points are not lost in this game.)
(3) You cannot make two consecutive claims for points.

Obviously to maximize your score you'll want to post at 9, 19, 29, 39... minutes after the previous post. But if you "stumble" and post at 10, 20, 30, 40... minutes after, you'll receive no points at all (hence the name).

The winner of this trial game will be the first person to 100 points. No need for any arbitrary time limits on this one. Start from the time of this post (10:30).

[Just for clarification: to keep it simple, all posts reset the clock in this game. Tubeguru's post at 11:44 was invalid (he should have claimed 4 points for a 44-minute gap), but The Orange One's post was valid (9 points for a 19-minute gap).]
