For one, sanity checks (this level can't really be solved in two seconds, that score is too large, etc). For two, probably more signing of requests, but that's pretty easy to bypass too. You really shouldn't be able to get ten thousand of something when the most the game gives you is two or three per day, though.

I guess they did it this way because they don't care about people cheating, since pretty much only one person (me) will bother to do it, and it will have no benefit other than their friends being puzzled.

Just look at the leaderboards in iOS Game Center. Top lists are full of cheaters.
