Your help will be much appreciated.

I had a math professor at my university spreading this misinformation.

I have checked and “Free New Flag”‘s score was not posted today. It was posted this week.

Also, “Free New Flag” has posted 6972 today. This is also suspicious, since it occurred today, and since the 4th all-time high score is 5353.

Have such fake scores appeared before, and been erased?

Thanks for this – it’s a wonderful template. I made a prize-winning poster in the 48×36 inch size, now i’m trying to re-print it in 36×24 inch format to hang in an existing frame. I realize I’ll have to mess with the layout since the aspect ratio is different between the two sizes, but how can I fix the monstrous margins that appear when i change the sizes to the smaller dimensions? Try changing the width/height in your example file…you’ll see the large spaces i’m referring to.
