LOL at Heather!

I could only do .22 and one time was over second, got distracted and it asked if I'd been drinking. If only I had drugs to blame it on.

(just fixing spelling )

They don't have any smart little popups to say, "let the baby be, finish the test".

I think it would be hard to crack the ten barrier though without getting the cheater thing..not that I would know of course...
It's a lot more like Stone paper and scissors though, don't you think?

.44 sec four times in a row. And I am the most alert in the morning when I took this test. Maybe my "slow reaction time" is because the circuit from my eyeballs to the mouse finger goes through my pajama bottoms.

I got mostly .33s, not too bad. It must be because of the practice I've had at jumping to the wife's demands (maybe she wouldn't agree!).

Fastest was a 0.18 three times (but then i PLAY BUZZER QUIZZES) - try changing the colour on the test (on one colour I was asked if I'd fell asleep twice and asked what I'd been drinking twice) I found that with the "heavy" "bright" colours my reaction times dropped by 0.1 of a second or more.
Anyone care to re-take the test with different colours?
Tom - Colin would be under 0.01(LOL)- and green with envy because he beats me on the buzzer so many times!) For the un-informed Colin is a member of my Quiz League Team he's also a Customs Officer and Tom can blow his own trumpet on who took the title of the Brain! Congrats Tom! Colin will have it back next year - keep it clean!

I tried it a number of times, from .16 or whatever upwards. What I did discover is that it matters how long you keep your finger there, you can hit it really quickly but if you don't remove your finger immediately it carries on totting up the time, so hit it immediately and hold for five seconds and you get a response time of five seconds.

Slowly, horrifyingly slowly. My best shot was just over 0.57s. I was so slow I thought at first I must be dead but I am probably a very fast moving vegetable based life form.

.37 seconds was my best. When I changed the color, the background wouldn't change so I pressed stop anyway and asked if I've been sleeping. I said aloud, "No, have you?!"
