Its a straightforward answer -
maxumum legitimate clicks? - 12 clicks

Now seriously -Just so you will know - assuming all clicks are legitimate - they most probably come from what is called a proxy (/proxy server).
In short: Proxy is a internet mechanism that concentrates requests from people on different IPs and contacts sites they want to for them - so instead of seeing the real people IPs you see the IP address of the proxy.
This may be done for many reasons: Privacy, security, caching etc...
Another reason is - cheating
What cheaters do - is use a proxy to hide their IP (so you cant track them). In a more technically advanced way - it also enables them to spoof their IP so not even the proxy can detect them...
Their (the cheaters) assumption is - that you wont block the proxy IP because you dont want to loose possible legitimate users...

In reality - fuck assumptions.. Block the motherfucker. (atleast for a while)
