Task 2: Bounce as often as possible

Question 1. You have probably noticed that each bounce gives you 10 points. So with 12 rubber bands it should be possible to get at least 120 points. If you are smart, however, you can make a path that lets the marble bounce twice against the same rubber band.
Now use 12 rubber bands. What, do you think, is the maximum number of bouncing points?
Question 2. It is funny that you can get the same number of points with only 11 rubber bands. Can you find such a path?
