Where are the extra points coming from?

My profile says that I have 352 points: 319 from achievements, 1 from the forum, 30 for signing up with treehouse, and 2 for.....? I can't figure out were they are coming from.

Caleb Kleveter, I figured out if you watch a video more than once, you can receive up to two points. However, watching a video a third time doesn't seem to provide anything extra.

Hi Caleb, here's how Treehouse points work. You can find this information under Learn More for the points you've received.

After looking though the list I still can't figure out were the 2 points are coming from.

For Objective-C Basics, here's how you can start adding it up starting with the first achievement. The source I referenced above doesn't mention it, but you also get a point for each video you watch with a green checkmark.

  • 6 video points
  • 12 quiz points
  • 24 challenge points

Okay, that makes sense, but why do those 2 points not show up with the achievements?

I'm not entirely sure, but unless I miscalculated something, here's what I came up with. There are some missing points, but remember if you've watched some videos here and there, you could be getting points that way. I'd have to research if points are given for bonus / workshop videos, but I'd guess they are not.
