Hear ye competitive Blenders of Carnage!

Simply complete the following task:

Best time wins (longest time being best)

Remember, screen shot or it didn't happen.

Contest will run for a week, prizes will be awarded to the top 5 entries.

Go!

From my chair using the trackpad on my Air. I'll post a better time with a mouse as soon as somebody beats this. A hint for those trying, the goal is to move as little as possible and the pattern is consistent so you can map out a plan like a memory game.

22.784 seconds, here. I'll post a screen shot as soon as I can remember how to upload one.

26.219 :D

How long does this last?

^ that long :-)

bump

oh, and bump!

42.435 -- and yes, it's legit. I win. The faster the processor, the harder it is.

This is my best.

On a side note, this is why there should be an edit post, so I can fix the size...

No, that is the point at which you should know html and know to add width="100%" :)

29.859. Hopefully enough to make it in the money. (=

I pulled out an old laptop just to see... tried to play while running an AV scan too and I got to 59 seconds before I got bored and rammed the wall. ;) There was like a quarter second of lag every second or so, it was silly. (=

Weak, it should only count non lag....

I considered posting a 2 minute score as a joke, but I could just as easily fake the JavaScript popup too. ;) Oh well, I'm happy with my 29 seconds, that took far too long to accomplish. (=

I got 103... but don't know how to post... maybe I'll try today...

Ideally, but it doesn't work that way. I'm sure anyone whose 27 or older remembers that old DOS flying game where a biplane moves laterally across the monitor, turning around as it gets to the edge of the screen while you shoot at another biplane. These same people should remember how those computers had the greatest invention ever -- a turbo button built into the case. If you played that Red Baron knockoff on a slow computer, it was easy. But if someone pushed that turbo button, the planes would fly across the screen insanely fast.

It's the same concept. The game is harder on a 3 gig processor than it is on a 2.4 gig. There's no perceived lag on a 2.4 gig, it's just slower.

Argh, whoever can think of the name of that game wins a cookie.

bah... stupid technology!

I suppose all I can ask is that there is no deliberate 'gaming the system' here.

dudemus wins the cookie.

Wow, beyond 20 seconds everything moves so fast >,<. Just like watching a bunch of blue blurs flying from corner to corner.

wow my work computer must be REALLY slow... go public education.... (for note: I'm a public school teacher...)

prizes will be awarded in a little bit.... my time management is lacking

I got over a minute, but it was after I left my comp on for a day or two and had a ton of applications running. The actual time I got was around 24 or so seconds.. when my comp was running fast. When it was slow I was just at the same point but with lag the timer counted in real time. :)
