Actually, "no matter what you did" isn't quite right, because you probably
*did* get that one last point at some time without noticing. As usual with
these adventure games, it is obscure and illogical. Unlike some of the other
things that get you points, however, this one last point is almost certainly
something that you did when you were initially exploring the game, but stopped
doing it once you'd "learned the ropes". The usual way to discover it
is to re-explore the game, checking your score frequently to see if it
went up unexpectedly.

The other way is to read a book of aphorisms and follow their advice:
Onward and upward! A stitch in time saves nine. A penny saved is a penny
earned. Et tu, Brute? Go west, young man! Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

The above gives it away only to those who know what I'm talking about,
thus no "spoiler warning".
