How many times has Hank Aaron hit for the cycle in his career? None! So are we to question the legitimacy of someone who does hit for the cycle? That seems to be a pretty close analogy to prior statements on this thread regarding GAMBIT and VISHNU.
I hate having to explain things more than once. VISHNU is the best player ever to play the game, the best by far in the Flashback round. When he played, the game was in fact easier than it is now. Or perhaps he made it easier. His numbers is the yardstick individual scores are measured by.

The Flashback round? The one where you need to guess the year of an event? Yes, I know someone in Connecticut who repeatedly aces that round, and no, it doesn't involve cheating. This guy just has an amazing knowledge of the years where things happen. On the rare occasions where I play Spotlight with this person, my strategy for Flashback Round is, just enter what he tells me to.
8k all the time in that round? Nope. Don't even try to sell that here. Especially when the best player in CT doesn't even average 47k and ranks 150th.

Sorry, but based on the number of high bar score averages for this past week, plus the fact that thousands of people play Spotlight every Friday, I won't assume a perfect score as evidence of "cheating". All I can say is, see if it happens again with the same player or group.
I don't automatically assume that either, but in this case one must wonder given all the evidence plus the fact any Tom, Dick, and Harry can do so with an iPhone.

BO, if you can't respond to something I've said with a little more courtesy than what I've quoted above, will you put me on your "ignore" list? I would appreciate it.
Your request has kindly been acknowledged. And denied.
