I can't figure out the trick being used by the top scorers. Any hints?

Ps. My time, playing conventionally is <10 minutes.

well, I would tell you, but it already looks like you figured it out.  :D

I have a question though. I have played this map three times and all three I finished with a time of 32 seconds, but when I submitted it, it changed to 33. Any reason why?

It's because of the double conversion. In the game your time gets translated into a score (the only thing stored in the database). Now times are being displayed as well (since a few months), this time is calculated from the score again and rounding errors cause this one second difference.

Now I see how people get the 0:32 score!

hmm, It's nice to have the top score on at least one map that you didn't create (by the way, shouldn't one hole on the socket be larger than the other)
