Ok, here's the situation:

The guy who lives next door to me has a Mac.  We play alot of Spectrum
Holobyte's Tetris.  I always kick his butt.  I had the top scores (near
10,000) and he never even got close.

Today, I noticed that his girlfriend was unusually enthusiastic about showing
me the high scores on Tetris.  It seems that they have figured a way to
score several thousand points more than any previous games.

How did they do it?  I know they didn't get that much better overnight.  We
always play with the expert option turned off.  Can this make a difference
in the scoring?  What other tricks are there?  I don't think they sector
edited the file (though that is probably how I will get my revenge!).

Email would be appreciated since I can only read so many newsgroups in 24
hours.  Thanks in advance and please skip the comments like "10,000? hell,
I get 50,000 while blindfolded."
