Hello Ervin,

let me try to answer your question. I think you missunderstood Pat here.

You will have NO chance to get that information and should not try to
score that.

Pat relies here on a final multiplier to the all your points based on
YOUR OWN power (and that you know). Reread the mentioned rule 7 above.
You can state that multiplier via a POWERMULT in your logfile. Multiply
the final score (or maybe the multis by 1, 1.5 or 3 as given by the
POWERMULT and you are done.

Be aware that it requires to adapt the POWERMULT keyword to allow
arbitraryly given multiplier values first.
