I'm no expert on aptitude, but from the look of your last sentence
(Solutions that are found to have a score that is too low will be
immediately rejected) the bigger the number is better because the lower
the number is the more chance aptitude won't allow it. Basically what
you said but for a person with their IQ roughly 10 x GB of RAM in their
PC. :)
