2889: Matching Goal bonus for the upside-down stack
In QA2664 Scenario 1, the upside-down Stack also seen as a connected Stack. So if I want make this Stack to get Matching Goal bonus, which Matching Goal should it in, the Red one, or the blue one?

Thanks for this question!
Clause A of rule <SC6> states that the bottom Pin in a Stack must match the color of the Goal to qualify for the Matching Goal bonus.
Because in this orientation the bottom Pin in your example is blue, the Stack could be placed in that orientation in either of the blue Goals for that bonus.
If the same Stack was rotated to put the red Pin on the bottom, it could be placed in a red Goal to earn that bonus.
