Tricky Cribbage Hand to Score


QUESTION

I think this hand is 32 points – 4,5,6,6,   5 cut

4,5,6=15-2
4,5,6= 15-4
4, 5, 6=15-6
4,5,6=15-8
Double run – 4566=8 for 16
Double run – 4556=8 for 24
Double run-455 with the other 6=32 

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

ANSWER

I believe the hand is scored as follows:

4,5,6=15-2
4,5,6= 15-4
4, 5, 6=15-6
4,5,6=15-8
Double Double run – 45566=16 for 24

The scoring for a Double Double run (3 cards consecutive with two pairs) breaks down as follows:

456 for 3
456 for 6
456 for 9
456 for 12
55 pair for 14
66 pair for 16
