Play Fives and Threes, the pub dominoes game where you score by making the two open ends add up to a multiple of three or five. Play solo against the computer, read the rules, and follow the scoring on the table.
Match a tile to an open end of the line. If the ends total divides by three, score the total divided by three. If it divides by five, score the total divided by five. When both apply, add both scores: a total of 15 scores 5 + 3 = 8 points. A double at an open end counts both its spots.
The table shows the open-end totals and points scored. Select a tile, then choose an end; ends that cannot accept the tile are marked. If you cannot play, draw from the boneyard until you can, or pass when it is empty. Open How to play for the rules and a worked scoring example.

A 7-tile hand holds 4 or more of a given number 4.3% of the time, and 4 or more of some number 29.5% of the time. Holding 4 leaves 3 outside, 27.4% of the time none of them in the opponent's hand.
Six tiles hold 9 or more spots: 61 of the set's 168. A 7-tile hand has about 1.5 of them, and a stranded 6-6, 5-6 and 4-6 would leave 33 spots behind.
