    I was wondering how risky it would be to use speedgear + math nightmare to get the math nightmare av. My account is relatively young, so it may look suspicious... Would it be worth it? I know speedgear is pretty much undetectable, so... Chances of me getting frozen? x)

    As long as you stay below the review score and wait a while (seriously, wait) after you finish before sending the score, it shouldn't be too bad.

    proxies are a pain and I'd rather just get the general opinion as to whether it's safe or not. i like it that way

    I tried the game legit. It's pretty easy, only I can't get past level seven. :| (potato counter, division) It's not too hard, a sheep just randomly falls. ;-;
    *EDIT - I figured out what was wrong. time keeps running out. I'm gunna try "letimiyasleep" to reset the timer. :\

    TNT seems to be really anal about the math's nightmare avatar, so I wouldn't even try.
    I was having a PM convo with surreptitious {And sorry if she doesn't want me to post it here for any reason and I will remove if she wants me to}
    But she told me before she heard of cheats or anything, she got the av. legit and still got her nice account iced.
    Seeing as how she told me, I don't think she got her account back either.

    yeah don't do it
    So it's basically impossible to get the maths nightmare avatar by playing on medium and division cause the wait kills you. It is impossible to finish 5 levels in 1 minute (4 is doable but you have to do levels 7-12 in under a minute which mean you have to use the time "cheat code"...which you won't be able to use again for 12-17). You more or less have to be pro at mental math and play on hard and random. :)

    but then again...I see soo many impossible scores on that high scores list so who knows?

    I ve personally used speed gear to get volcano run avatar,ice cream machine avatar,dubloon disaster avatar and even better than you trophy and many other.

    But i ve kept the score under the review score!!So i would say it is pretty safe unless you abuse the software!!(getting insanely high scores)

    You know what the legit guides say about it? I read that you should have at least 2 friends with calculators in there hans have to help you, but five would be better...

    Crazy what people do to get avartars..

    The math isn't that hard. Well, medium isn't. And "brain tree" is mostly the same questions over and over. so it's all pretty easy. you just have to do it fast. :|

    Yeah the medium level is a piece of cake...it's the wait between problems that kills you. Brain Tree division is pretty easy too so that's probably the best bet for getting the avatar. Assuming you need a 7800 to get the avatar, if you play on Brain Tree you'll only have to earn a base score of 2600 without the x3 multiplier. Then since you're playing on division and each question is worth 20 points, you'll have to answer 130 questions, meaning you have to get through 13 levels. The most important part is to get through levels 3-7 without using the extra time code. Then you can use the code during 7-12. After that you'll only have to get through one more level to get the avatar. :)

    I did it and got a silver trophy without getting iced. Given my account was pretty old it should still be fine. Remember TnT can't freeze you if you just happen to be quick at math, because there are people in the world who actually are ridiculously fast at it.

    Oh and it helps a lot to have a friend punch in into the calculator while you type or w/e, just a tip.

    It's because there is a glitch in the game that resets the timer. It is completely random when it happens. The people at the top of the HS most likely got the glitch twice+they used the cheat.

    nope
    I calculated based on their score that they would have had to get through some 100+ levels to get their score. Even with the glitch, that's impossible.

    *checks HS

    Hmm, the high scores used to be around 8,760.
    I know that I could get close to 6k without the glitch.

    For your entertainment, here are a few of the more outrageous ones from the top 50 scores. =P

    #4. merplets: 11,031
    11031 = 3 * 3677
    Since 3677 is prime, this in an impossible score.

    #20. rainkage: 8,820
    8820 = 2*15*294
    Getting through 30 levels is would require the glitch to happen at least 3 times (more or less exactly every 5 levels).

    #21. blackspawn2099: 8,820
    Same as #20.

    #23. prawnt: 8,780
    8780 = 2*10*439
    That's 44 levels....unlikely.

    #24. fixmesomefood: 8,780
    Same as #24.

    #50. polentona: 8,740
    8740 = 2*10*437
    Still 44 levels...still unlikely.

    How do you get these numbers? :p
    One Babaa = 20 points in Division, in Random it is 25 points

    Potato counter = x2
    Brain tree = x3

    Let's assume scores above 8,760 are illegit. I know one of my guild mates got that score once and I trust them :p

    8,760 on Potato Counter, Division (so 180 points per level):
    8,760/180/2= Level 24 (okay, this is hard to believe probably)

    8,760 on Potato Counter, Random (so 225 points per level):
    8,760/225/2= Level 19 (much better)

    8,760 on Brain Tree, Division (180 points per level):
    8,760/180/3= Level 16

    8,760 on Brain Tree, Random (225 points per level):
    8,760/225/3= Level 13

    You're probably right about the 11k one but I do believe that the scores around 8,760 are legit :)

    ;)
