Online games where you have to get a high score to win   
I normally avoid these as I am useless at games and normally some of the 
scores are ridiculously high (i.e. impossible to have achieved by actually 
playing the game). I followed a link from the Prizefinder to the pot noodle 
comp closing tomorrow and noticed this in the terms and conditions:

4. You may be asked to prove your score by demonstrating how you achieved 
your score.

Let's hope more of them start doing that, although whether it will make any 
difference...
I don't suppose it will put cheats off and I wonder whether they will 
actually carry out any checks.

Here you go:

Didn't put it in to start off with as I guess it's a bit naughty pinching it 
from the Prizefinder (although at least I have credited them with it!)

Talking of which - take a look over here.

click on the link "how to play" and scroll down. Now call me fick but if 
there's only 20 shots and each shot can only be worth 2000 points (and 
that's considering you hit the flipping flying cocktail!) how can the leader 
have 41350 points?

Come to think of it how come any of the leader board players have achieved 
such high scores.
Play it yourselves and see what I mean......

Pretty sure it will have been on here before - most things have.  :-)
Just a bit tired for trying to find things atm.
