Best answer: "What does "a good 2048 combination" mean? It means any number that, if it was in the game "2048", it could be combined into one single number. (A zero means an empty space, and can be ignored if needed.) Note that numbers could possibly be multiple digits! However, the numbers must not change between moves. "

Holy moley. Can one of you please write my boss a note about why he's not getting his report?

Gorgik, I turned my boss onto the game. It pretty much took away a whole Friday for him.
