Be happy: the most number of iterations you made, the better the point is!
These points have more chance to be matched!

Actually, it is not the number of points which counts, but the number
of iterations you made. The distinguished points are just the
"checkpoints" of the iterations!

We could do that for the next ECDL project, if there is some...
