Now that you mention it, it should be the sixteenth then, shouldn't it?

Yeah, that would make more sense...

Well, what I read from everyone here was that we shouldn't impose a penalty for
NOT sorting, but only to give a bonus to those who did. Similarly, in spirit to
not make a player feel they need to sort AND home. So not penalizing wrong
colours at home keeps location and sorting separate from each other.
I should clarify that no points are given for a single block of correct colour
in the starting square.

Well, with the emphasis on making towers Derek and DaveK mentioned, points
shouldn't be awarded for merely pushing blocks into the home square. You do
need to stack them.
