This is the first time I've actually been able to fully log onto the site and get the test working. My highest is a 76, but only using the laptop without a mouse/tablet. I figure I'll break that out in a bit and raise the score.

Really, though, what's the point of cheating on a game like this? Who cares if your score is over 9000.

So yeah I have been playing this stupid tangram all morning. I finally got an 84

Just back on the ID cards I have an idea- remeber when there were apollo candy events with free bars during the last TLE, well people comlained that non-players were getting them meaning that there were not enougth for players, so maybe there may be a live event or give away where you have to present the card, that way only palyers will get the stuff

proof that someone got a score over 900:

Wait, I don't know if I'm stupid or missed something...
but if you score one point for every second left on the clock when you finish...and there's a hundred seconds on the clock....how can you score a 900?

Oh...a hack. Well...not sure about that one but I just used the cheat published at Lostpedia blog. I agree with them. That cheat seems to me to be honestly in game as well.

I had a theory on how it could have been possible: it depends on how they calculate start and end times. If they take two times, when you start and current time, it's conceivable that you can change your system clock mid-game and make the calculation fall to negative values.

Of course, I tried that now and it doesn't work, so I can't be sure if that was the original method or not.

No offence and it's redundant to argue this at all but. Sorry, to me that isn't proof.

That could easily have been photoshopped. And I emphasize the easily.

Give me a little while as I'm a bit busy doing more important things but I'll make one where I scored over 2000

Right I keep getting situations where there are a few bits left and none of them look like they will fit but if I drag one and drop it in it counts it as finished, despite the fact that the pecie may be larger or a different shape to the hole I had?

I agree with Sassy. The paramater in the source code IS very blatant. I don't know about the clock hacks, but even by looking at the name of the test combined with the parameter she mentioned... its definitely IG.

I tried Sassy's cheat and it works. I was able to get 96 (my best score without the cheat is 81). I wasn't logged in but I am going to go ahead and log in and do it again.

I have 2 accounts so I can cheat with one account and be honest with the other account in order to see if the 2 accounts are treated differently by the PMs.
