Frustratingly addictive test
http://members.iinet.net.au/~pontipak/redsquare.html

my best was 16.75 seconds

The object is to move the red block around without getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls. If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal.
Supposedly, the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are expected to go for at least 2 minutes.

3. That damn game...
We played that around the office FOREVER. I still do on occasion. The longest I've gone is around 36-37 seconds, and that wasn't the best time. I can't recall what it was though.

But most DEF! not 2 minutes.

6. 16.68 on my third try
The other two I got 12 and 11 seconds.
I've seen this before. I think it counts slower than the actual time that has elapsed.

10. I'm almost phenomenal.

17.672 seconds. I would have gone longer, but my kid bumped my arm. I can see how this would be addictive.

12. 2 minutes on the first try, or 2 minutes eventually?
Because you can memorize the pattern... :) 16.89, so far.

13. i have a strategy now
it helps if you listen to Aphex Twin while playing. Now I can pass the 18 second goal :)
