The rules on LFS scores are absolute - even if the extra [3] did not add another second or, if it did, the score one second underneath is reported instead, the scores are invalid.

When playing very long sessions, such as [[bold time]] seeking on [[Monster Lab]] or [[Blobnet]], the use of Fullsec (in addition to saving a ''lot'' of time and hassle) will prevent the vastly unlikely but tremendously devastating possibility of the long second occurring on the ''exact same'' playing as the luck of the Irish.

The glitch does not occur in [[Tile World]], therefore scores obtained this way cannot be rendered invalid due to LFS.
