    Tils.
    You must understand something, I am not a challenger or something, I am a f-ing victim. I was fooled by NSD Powerball, foolishly placed my foolish scores up here, foolishly told about it to my wife, my son, my friends. And you must understand how do I feel now. I am simply f-d.

    Now with my shame and my personal problems I will deal myself but I don't want to be fooled again. And I really hope that NSD or whoever out there will take serious responsibility and will fix these bugs.

    It will be also nice to get new errorless counter free to everyone who evere reported these bugs.

    That is the only point of MHO.

    Some people thought that things heavier than air can't fly, that was just before airplane invention.

    Anything is possible if you will try harder. And you as PB-er must know that better than anybody else.

    Bit odd...mine always gets updated if I spin faster. However, out of habit, I always press ON/CLR before each run.

    As for the whole faking of the video, it's not as easy as you might think. Yes, it's possible to increase the sound frequency, but a keen eye can tell if the sound doesn't match the Powerballer motion. Increase the visual speed too and it'll become obvious, even with a small increase I think. It does lead me to my worries about the YouTube-type videos, where the visual quality isn't very good, and is sometimes so poor you can't see the Powerballer moving at all. In those cases I do worry that faking the video is possible.

    But as others have said, people have made claims in the past about being able to cheat, and so far we've not seen it happen. At least I don't think we have. Seriously, if you are able to fool us then we'd be keen to see your efforts, so that we can perhaps find ways to combat it. A bit like a bank asking a thief to rob the bank so that tne bank can find where their weaknesses are!

    Now the question is how much you will pay for that?
    Banks give good money, you know... Specially when they are robbed.

    I can see your point, when you first start powerballing you can't appreciate how much harder a 15k score is it is only after working your but off anf making improvements and finding each one is exponentially harder that you realise it. A 13-14k er who has been at it a while could never confuse a 1530 score with a regular score. A noob could be rather excited. No shame though.

    Just for the 256 exponential thing ... it can also explain why there are so few scores between 15350 and 15600 ^^

    And Estereos, in my opinion, you are not a victim, you are just splitting hairs ...

    I would be twice as disapointed as you if someone can reach 15k3 after only one week of powerballing!
    My advice is don't take it so seriously and train for some months and you'll manage to get 15k as many guys here and it'll be an achievement which you could be very/really proud of !
