	The fact that it is possible to cheat in single-player is the reason that no global leader-boards exist for the single-player levels. If global leader-boards were added, given sufficient time, they would eventually just resort to being a list of the top cheaters. This isn't fun for anyone, as it diminishes the value of the players playing legitimately.
