Thank you for your results. Providing you just took the first 100 tries and did not wait for a bad run, then treating this as a single sample, the chance they are cheating is:

99.999999998%

That is, approx 50 billion to one, such that you would expect to get such bad results in 18 trillion doubles

That is even more absolutely conclusive that they are cheating.
