I don't get it, take this one:

>3      3274 1637 884 467 239

        1  2,000 3,7036 7,0107 13,6987

or this one:

>4      2308 1154 591 349 208

        1   2,000 3,9052 6,6132 11,0962


Ok, agreed the factor of 2 looks weird, but the rest look realistic to me.
If he really did cheat, why would he choose such lame numbers for the 2x?

I'm not convinced you are right Vincent.
