#233 — Unkown type?

While tinkering with Maple 9, I've encountered what looks like a type I've never 
seen before:

true,
24 true,
13 true + 24 false

This comes from an evaluation function for a board puzzle. It works ok, but how 
do I convert this type to its ordinal so I can do comparisons?

I have a list of such values and I need to pick the element with the highest 
value.

I tried ord(%), convert(%,decimal), etc., but nothing works.

Thanks,

What is the value of the ordinal of the above?  24?  24*false?

Is this enough?

> [true, 24*true, 13*true+24*false];

              [true, 24 true, 13 true + 24 false]

> map(evalhf,%);

                         [1., 24., 13.]
