You mean a RAC of 151 with a total score of 35?  They aren't units, 
they're cobblestones or points... sometimes called cobblepebbles.  :-)

And the way your RAC can end up higher than your total has to do with 
how the RAC is calculated.  Simplified... think about it like this... if 
you do 15 points in six hours, what is your average going to be for the 
day?  It would be 60, so your average would be 60/day with only 15 
points given.

RAC calculations are bit more complicated than that, but you get the 
picture.  :-)
