This is what prompted my tongue in cheek null program suggestion. At 100 points maximum for each error, returning no denominators and making the size * denominator component zero seemed ideal.

That program would have scored 263.86.

The equivalent that does return a result << 1 SWAP - { 1 } >> would add about 25 per example to the score. It still wouldn't have passed the judges discretion clause
