    I'm mostly a "Bobbing Bob Cat", with averages around 0.25sec. With
    some deep breathes and more intense concentration I got myself to
    "Rocketing Rabbit" with an avg of .18sec.

    about the same.

    Though I did suffer from shooting off too early a few times[1]

    [1] you'd think I'd be past that stage at my age.

    heh. Me too. But on one occasion, when I anticpated too soon, I was
    suprised to discover a comatose sheep actually in the pen. When the
    results came up I was credited with a reaction time of 0.000 seconds
    for that one.

    Have you tried using your peripheral vision to detect the sheep's
    movement, you'll knock a couple of hundredths of your reaction time.

  6. I'm an Bobbing Bobcat with an average of .20 but it was the look on the
    sheep's faces that stopped me getting a better time with the others
    because I was laughing.

    I tried both de-focussing and looking at the screen generall, and
    concentrating on the pen. I got better results using the latter.

    ISTR something about there being a greater concentration of motion
    detectors around ones peripheral vision; a throw back from when we had
    to be wary of predators. I've just tried it again and I'm back in the
    0.25s either way, maybe I've just subconsciously dismissed sheep as a
    threat.

    TOG@toil, ,
    All five stopped on 0.186 or 0.187 - three times running. Scarily
    consistent if not particularly quick.

    No, that is quick - quicker than all but my best go, anyway.

    I'm going to put the blame on a dodgy mouse.

    Fair enough - I'm using a tuned-to-the-bollocks superduper ergonomic
    MS wireless optical mouse, finished in go-faster titanium, with black
    grip panels and a see-through tilting scrollwheel. What really gives
    the edge is the very recently-imported RatpadzGS mousemat (the GS
    stands for Gaming Surface) which offers minimal comfort along with
    minimal friction and zero squish.

    And anyway, my finger's faster than your finger. Yarboo.

    Fucking typical - some average bloke turns up and wheels the latest
    high tech kit into the paddock, and proceeds to trounce everyone.

    "Speeds just a question of money - how fast can you go?"
    Guess what my finger's doing right now.

    Make that 0.1822 (I blame the wine!).
    Followed shortly after by a 0.169

    I wonder how much I'll improve by the time I've finished the bottle?
