Hey n_n 
I did "recovered" the points I have lost. See the "" hehe   
What i did: 
I found a sixth mud (five were used the last day, but the last didn't counted) 
So i talked to Rick right after that, and the dialogue had changed, like explained above. 
And then I wondered "and if I show the other mud that didn't counted instead this new and lesser iv one?" (122 that i lost yesterday x 70 something of the sixth).  
Before, the mud that didn't counted was being considerd as "seen" by Rick. But since the mechanics of the quest had changed, I tried this. And it works!  
The mud of yesterday who didn't been counted, now did it. 
I think this is usefull only if the mud you've lost was worther than the new one. Nonetheless, the sixth was dumped. At least I got the higher iv, and could use the missed one.   
Thanks for fixin it n_n
