When you score chains, you get exponential bonuses
equivalent to ((stage + 1) ^ (total lines - 1)) * 100. On
stage 17, I managed to complete a chain of 7 lines,
which should have scored (18^6) * 100, or
3,401,222,400 points. There were a few bugs
associated with this:

1) The chain score did not appear when I completed the
7th line.

2) The game decided to add the 3.4 billion points to my
score. Naturally, once it hit the 2.1 billion limit of a 32-
bit signed integer, the game crashed.
