Each token is worth a certain number of points. The cereal boxes list clues to help Lynda determine how many points each token is worth.

Clue 1: 2 yellow triangles and 3 blue pentagons are worth 53 points.

Clue 2: 4 yellow triangles and 5 blue pentagons are worth 93 points
         mc008-8.jpg   mc008-9.jpg    mc008-10.jpg    mc008-11.jpg    mc008-12.jpg    mc008-13.jpg    mc008-14.jpg    mc008-15.jpg  mc008-16.jpg  93 points

Clue 3: 5 yellow triangles and 2 blue pentagons are worth 61 points
          mc008-17.jpg   mc008-18.jpg   mc008-19.jpg   mc008-20.jpg   mc008-21.jpg    mc008-22.jpg    mc008-23.jpg    61 points

Clue 4: If you add the tokens and multiply by 4, the sum is 80 points.

          mc008-24.jpg    mc008-25.jpg   mc008-26.jpg  mc008-27.jpg  80 points
