I think we need a few more categories such as bikes in the dark with no lights, swerving trucks on the highway with no signals and arseholes in Benzes coming up the rear!

You must have seen a pretty girl walk by your office window? I think under .2 is the threshold from Bobcat to Rabbit. I'm consistently Bobcat, can't be a rabbit anymore, too old...LOL.

Woohoo ... Your average time is 0.1636 seconds.

That Kung Fu must be working!

0.1882 Rocketing rabbit
After about 5 tries I finally managed to avoid the 3 sec penalty.

I have not got the time to play these silly games.

.1896 Rocketing rabbit. Best of five attempts with two getting the 3 second penalty.

Now get back on with your work.

All of you.

Geeze, Guess I think is older than I am and getting better scores. Must be my mouse. I have a Logitech track ball. I'll have to try a normal mouse. It ain't over till it's over!!!...

PS: I wonder if a dial up connection is slower to transmit signals than a high speed connection? I'll take any straw I can get...LOL.

6 tries and all variations of Bobbing Bobcat

No 3- second penalties, though! I'm with Pete, it has to be the dial-up connection!

0.1502.

Im now going to apply for a job as a Ninja.

Made it to Rocketin' Rabbit! Yay!!

Slower than a lot of you guys at 0.2 secs, but I'm still a rabbit!

I don't mean to be a killjoy, but really, how pathetic is this, huh!!!

I don't mind, waste your life away, Up2you. But I object to being called a Bobbing Bobcat!! And the connection speed is wrong, okay! No way did I deserve a 3 second penalty, OKAY!!!

Stupid game.

What pathetic exceuse. Conection times??? The program is loaded onto your PC.

I think Pete has a point about age though. I considered that. There is a general trend here for the older of us to take longer. I believe that is natural. My reaction time has always been quick but has definitely slowed a little now. Also I think regular practice helps. I have done quite a lot of shooting in the past and some of it speed related. I definitely slowed down after a break.

BTW when I write things about the second World War and the begining if the Rama Dynasty it is gleaned from history books. I wasn't around at the time.

In fact I was probably not alive the day your were born if my memory serves me correctly.
