    And it wasn't by Steve Wiebe or Billy Mitchell. The honor goes to Hank Chien, a 35-year old plastic surgeon from New York 0_o. His score of 1,061,700 beats both Wiebe's 1,049,100 and Mitchell's 1,050,200.

    I thought the previous record was the very highest score possible.

    That was unexpected. Good going, that guy. 
     
    I wonder how much higher someone could go. After all, we must be reaching some kind of point ceiling.

    Awesome.
     
     A plastic surgeon? That is a bit surprising.
