17.4 seconds is my best so far.

BTW: doesn't this kinda look like a floating Piet Mondrian painting?

That's a rather personal question.

My best is 19.63 secs but I have to stop! It's easy to get obsessed with that. I wouldn't be able to see by the end of the day!

22.222 - time to give up.

Thanks for the links, Tom Reingold . The 80s site went straight into the bookmark folder :-)

Here's another game link - these are as challenging as they are aesthetically pleasing:

I am so bad at these things. The worst I did on this is .1 seconds. I'm not joking. I think the best I did earlier today was about 2 seconds. Tried again tonight and I can't even get up to .5 seconds.

And I only got 5 / 12 on mem's cat test.

I am feeling very inadequate and need to go pick on somebody's grammar or something to restore my sense of self-esteem.

las, that sounds pretty much like my scores. The 2-second thing was obviously a fluke.

Maybe knitting ruins your reflexes for this sort of thing? Ya think?

Bet those 22-second folks can't do cables or turn a heel, and they have no idea what a "steek" is, either. (I'm not too clear on that myself, but I'm learning... )

Now I'm beating 27 regularly. The pattern is the same every time, just find a corner and move as little as you can, and you'll see the same openings every run.

When I click on the red square, the blue ones moved just enough for me to notice and then they completely stopped moving. I kept moving the red square around, but the blue ones never moved again. I never got a message saying how long I had lasted, either. Based on this, I would guess that I can last until I develop carpal tunnel syndrome. I RULE!!!

23.9, but I know a trick. After about 1 second, go straight down to the bottom. Stay there for about 3 seconds, then go to the top left corner for about 12.

Phil, give credit where credit is due. Now you're third to wendy - plain wendy. Congrats to fabulouswalls.

For whoever asked how to prove such scores - trust us. There are more important things to exaggerate about - like fishing.

Eleven minutes, thirty-eight seconds, and with one hand and one eye only, while I was playing table tennis with my nephew and translating Thucydides.
