Point counting (Problems)

I took an exercise and got 42 out of 55.

I agree with the 42. One problem was zero as I had difficulty operating the movement of pieces. On two problems I got 2 points each (missed the best move on the first try) for a total loss of five points. 15 problems times 3 points each is 45. How can one earn the extra ten points?

What I want to know is where does the 55 total availabe points come from? True, I exceed the fifteen minute time limit but I was told via email that there was no penalty for exceeding the time limit.
