Does anybody know of a way that I could submit quiz scores with the quiz time subtracted...such as gamecenterscore = (quizscore - quiztime) or something like that? This would make the leadboards a lot more competitive.

It was something like this. I made a new int called quizBonusPoints, and in the BT_screen_quiz.m, found pointsPerRight, and changed it to this: if (totalSeconds >299) { quizBonusPoints = 0; } else{ quizBonusPoints = (300 - totalSeconds); } int pointsPerRight = (quizPointsPerAnswer + quizBonusPoints); I added quizBonusPoints as an int at the top of BT_screen_quiz.h, and synthesized it in BT_screen_quiz.m So if the time is less than 300 seconds, it ads a bonus to their score. If it is over 300 seconds, they do not get a bonus. So speed is rewarded. Comments I add a modifier to the score that adds the score with a time bonus for each question right.
