@killerKea ~ If I remember this subject well the signal (+ or -) of a number on some systems is given by the leftmost bit. If that bit is a 0 the number is positive and it is negative if the bit is 1. FFFF is hexadecimal for a binary number with 32 bits, all 1s. It is the highest binary number that you can represent with 32 bits but as the leftmost bit is 1 it is a negative number of 31 bits where negative numbers are taken into consideration.

The cheater on the pic must have entered a number close to 2^32 (1 as the leftmost bit) and Rovio managing software intertrepeted it as a negative number of 31 bits.
