      I was thinking the same thing. And is the hacking of high scores a common occurrence for an iOS app?

      Yes, like you wouldn't believe! Almost every game I play, as well as my own games, have a ton of hackers on the leaderboards.

      That's a good idea as well. :)

      We have a cheater's score on our Game Center leaderboard, and unfortunately we're not holding our breath in having it removed.

      Unfortunately, Apple does not give devs the options to manage their own leaderboards. Even worse, it's been over a month and Apple has not replied to our repeated requests to have this score removed.

      I wouldn't spend any more than 10 mins trying to figure this crap out, if I were a hacker. Too much math for me.
