I upgraded to 2.0.14 last night but haven't played until this afternoon. I've done 2 rooms since the upgrade (both this afternoon) and each time after exiting the room, the usual 30-60 seconds later, it told me place - 1st place!

but then I thought "huh. I wasted a ton of moves. no way I got first place. let me recheck." hit f6 and found out my score was pitiful. easily 200,678 millionth place.

Oh, good, so it's not just me. (Incidentally, I haven't yet installed 2.0.14, so it's not a fact about the patch.)

I bet it's related to the fact that the high scores are temporarily down.

No, it was just a bug I introduced today. Sigh. Fixed.

You have no idea how happy I was to complete a really difficult room and get the '1st place!' banner.

And then I got it on the next room also.

And the next.

And the next.

I was totally in the zone. Although growing slightly suspicious.

Ah well...just having it flash 1st Place at me is almost good enough.

Same. I knew it was statistically improbable that I would get a "1st Place!" the first time I worked through a room. It became statistically impossible when *every* room generated a first place.

It sure made my ego feel really, really good on the first "win", though.

Would have been a good April Fool's joke.

Man, you're right.
