I noticed the same thing. I was able to really boost my score by just drawing over the 'same' circle a bunch of times. Doing that got my score up into the 7-8 million range.

But that makes sense. If people draw a circle by overlaying multiple approximations, it gets better.

If there were a contest out of this, it could be disqualified: i.e. you start and finish on approximately the same point.
