One of those is for sure! Check out the top participants @ rosetta! :shock:

Time travelling would be in the event that that person travelled 50 years into the future and brought himself a couple of 100-Core-Pentium4's!!
Check out the floating point ratings of the machine...

P.S. - I'm being sarcastic :P
P.S.2 - A couple of 100-core-AMD-(future name) CPU's would perform even better! :lol:

Everyone up to world rank 2 looks gd, but #1 could be just maybe a little bit iffy.

I recon if PY moved over all his DPAD machines he might be able to match that. :shock:

seriously though, that looks like someone hacked the page.

It's actually too easy to do that. IMO, someone is just proving the point in order to force Rosetta to implement an alternative scoring system..

I've put in a hack in my stats to set his score to zero to compensate in the meantime..

If the result is in the stats file then it is not a page hack, but a hack via the returned files.
I think they will have to fix that very quickly.
