Error in final scoring ? (7 W)

hello,
This morning, my game (n°929127128) ended with a strange score.
I have 57 pts BUT I think I should earn 8 pts more, because of the wonder giving a science bonus (compass -> +7 pts + 1 pt)
Can somebody explain where I'm wrong, or why BGA doesn't give me the 8 pts ?
Thx !

These 8 pts are displayed, just in a strange way that only makes sense for robots and computer scientists.
It's in your wonder section and also oddly mentionned in science like this : "5(13)" if you look closely.
You can also click on a cell to check.
Same goes with scientists guild, agora effect of edifice, science leaders and so on.
It gets even weirder when the bonus changes a previous bonus symbol. Then the calculated score is the delta. Eg : 1 tablet and scientist guild makes the guild worth 3 pts, but if you play a compass afterwards, then the guild becomes a wheel and shifts from 3 to 8 (delta=5), with the compass being worth 1, so this particular compass card is then 6 pts (5+1). If you have scientist guild and Babylon, it can get even weirder. You'll get used to it

I try to understand what you are writing, but I'm not sure of the sense,n especially if you put some humour

I'm not english native, so some comments can fly over my head
Well, IMHO I should get :
2*2 + 1 + 1 + 7 (for the 3 different tablets) -> 13
Could we say that the BGA count is not optimal in this case ?

Les 8 points manquants sont affichés entre parenthèses dans la case science et en affichage normal dans la case merveille

(qui, dans la vraie vie, ne contiendrait rien)
Je ne sais pas ce que tu entends par "non optimal" mais l'affichage est bien correct (et la somme est bien égale à 57 en comptant les 8 points), il est juste bizarre.
Par ailleurs, j'ai corrigé le message précédent en anglais pour qu'il soit un peu plus clair et correct (et pour qu'il soit utile à tout le monde). J'étais allé trop vite.

Je comprends donc bien ton message, ça me rassure;
ce que je ne comprends pas c'est pourquoi je n'ai pas 13 plutôt que 8. (2² + 1 + 1 + 7)
J'ai 57 pts avec les 5 de donnés plutôt que 65 avec les 8 pts manquants. (ou me trompe-je ?)

Look closely, the 8 science points you are missing are in the row "World Wonder" and they are already counted into your overall score of 57 points.
The table is indeed a weird way of writing it. You have 13 science points, 5 of them are attributable to science cards themselves and 8 of them come from your wonder.
