But how long did it take you?  let's see, it took me 15 hours to get
109 million, so it took you 60 hours or so to get 410.  The world record
for playing a video game is 67 hours, and he barely got that.  In fact,
he was playing joust, and was able to rest a lot(!) more than anyone on
Star Wars.  Of course, presumably you were playing on a 6 sheild, 1 bonus
machine, and not a 9 sheild, 3 bonus one (a lot easier).  If you feel
you can do it, go for the guiness record of 15,250,793 (6 sheild, no bonus)!
Or, better yet, play it for 100 hours on any setting and you win
10,000 dollars (during the marathon contest held in a couple of months).
Sorry to be so suspicious.
