You're not doing anything wrong. Here's how it works--your official high score is the *first* game you achieve at that score. In your case it was the game you played on 2011-12-26 02:17:56 (Pacific Standard Time). That game was the first when you scored 35--it had an elapsed time of 1m7s. Every game you played after that doesn't count in the leader board.

We did this when players first started playing specific games over and over trying to get faster and faster play-throughs because (a) it was clogging up the leader board with all the games that got played trying to achieve the fastest time, and (b) it made *everyone* have to start repeating games with super fast times if they ever wanted to get on the high score table at all. In the end Jim and I decided that Solitaire wasn't a twitch sport and we didn't want to encourage speed-runs.

Hope that helps explain what's happening.
