Maxwell Johnson, a 36-year-old accountant, has always been a fan of classic video games. He grew up playing Qbert at his local arcade and has never forgotten the thrill of chasing that high score. So, when he stumbled upon a curious anomaly in the game's code during a late-night gaming session, his heart skipped a beat.

As he played, Johnson noticed that the game's movements and patterns seemed strangely predictable. They weren't completely random, as he had always thought. Instead, there was a pattern to the game, a rhythm that could be exploited if you knew how to look for it.

Intrigued, Johnson decided to test his theory. He played Qbert every night for a month, refining his strategy and tweaking his approach until he finally found the secret to beating the high score. And what is that secret, you ask?

Well, it turns out that Qbert's movements are not entirely random, as previously believed. Instead, there is a hidden pattern to the game, which can be exploited to rack up points and skyrocket your score. By timing your movements and following the pattern, Johnson was able to achieve a score that no one else had ever come close to.
