Boris has it correct, except I feel he has placed the emphasis on the wrong 
words.  Here is how I would put it:

C. Multi-Operator (all band operation only):
1. Single Transmitter: Only one transmitter and one band permitted during any 
10-minute period, defined as starting with the first logged QSO on a band. 
Exception: One-and only one-other band may be used during any 10-minute 
period if-and only if-the station *WORKED* is a new multiplier.

If you are the multipilier station at a M/S and answer some guy and say, 
"sorry, you are not a multiplier" you are WORKING him.  The key word is 
WORKED.  Nowhere does it mention LOGGED or zero points.

The concept is clear to me.  In the last decade, guys tried to wiggle around 
this by calling CQ with a 2nd callsign.  If they got a reply from a "new 
mult," they changed calls to match the M/S station.  This was pure fraud and 
the rules were changed to reflect that.  Some guys still want wiggle 
room...there isn't any.
