Analysis of the Best Possible Score in Hearts
I am considering the best possible game to get in Hearts to be the highest average score for the three losing players.
So, if three players had a score of 99 points each, and the fourth player shot the moon, each losing player would have 125 points.
This is the only way to score an average of 125 points. The winner must have a score of 15 (or 41, 67, 93).
If a player has not scored any points, the highest possible average to hope for would be 121.3 points.
Keep this in mind when strategizing for hitting the elusive 125.
