There are bonuses for speed, but they are most likely attained either through hacking or through computer puzzle solving. I read a while back that the scoring system is hackable by placing the score you feel you "deserve" into the data table prior to submission. I have seen much higher scores (250000+). At least the scores are so ridiculous that you know they are fake, and I feel sorry for people who need such anonymous but unearned recognition to be proud of themselves. I am not sure what high scores on the AARP site buy you anyway.
