How Dexterous Are You?

[KLscilevothma]

Try this ! (http://www.bol.ucla.edu/~jwo/lj/quiz/dex.html)

How much time did you use to finish the game ? [:D] What's your grade ?

[KLscilevothma]

I used about 6-7 minutes to finish the game and got F- - in my first try. But then I improved a lot after finding out the secret behind. [:)]

[Integral]

first try was a 31sec for a B-

[Ivan Seeking]

42 seconds for a C
[:((]

[recon]

34 seconds and a B-.

Would you think that an A+ is possible?

What is the secret? [?]

Yeah, it IS possible !!! In fact, my best result is 3 seconds and got an A++!

I played this game over and over again and found the following:
A++ -- <5 seconds
A+ -- 6-10 seconds
A -- 11-15 seconds
A- -- 16-20 seconds
..... and so on

What is the secret?
[:D] I won't leak the secret for the time being.

Co'mon, who want to challenge my F - - and my A++ ? It seems that no one can get a F- - here except me. [6)]

[recon]

Still, haven't figured out the secret.

On my fifth try, I got an A- [:)] . Still not an A++, but I will try.

I think I am getting addicted to the game, though. [:D]

[KLscilevothma]

Recon, good luck! [:)]

[recon]

Got an F--!

Although, in my case, it happened completely by accident! [;)]

The controls got stuck and I had to refresh the page several times. I didn't realise that the clock wouldn't reset itself.

[KLscilevothma]

Well in my case, the F-- wasn't an accident. [6)]

[recon]

YEEHA! I think I have it figured out.

Just scored an A++ with a personal record of four seconds. Still a second behind you, but hey, I've given it my best shot. I REALLY have to do something else.

The folks hosting the website should have a list of weekly/monthly records. I'm really sure that someone will come along and complete the dexterity challenge in 1 second.

[jimmy p]

WOOT!!! first try did it in 20 seconds! i got an A-

and then i read the rest of the thread to hear the secret.

...poosticks. [b(]

[Monique]

Um, I got an A in 11 secs, is that good? [t)]

[himanshu121]

just one short to get A+

[KLscilevothma]

It seems that everyone has found out the algorithm behind this game. [:)]

[Monique]

I didn't

[Integral]

I got an F-- in my 2nd attempt. I opened the window dropped it to the task bar, then forgot all about it came back later, rediscovered the window on my task bar and started playing. Seems the clock started before I dropped to the task bar, time was huge, score was F--

:)

Whoohoo! 3 secs!! So what's the algorhythm?

[Monique]

It IS a good thing if you score fast, right, isn't it? [t)]

[Ivan Seeking]

4 seconds

[Ivan Seeking]

2 seconds

1 second should be doable.

[Zantra]

ok my first try was 51 seconds- 2nd was 31 seconds- what's the secret?;)

How do you cover your professional errors and omissions liability?

[Ivan Seeking]

Not by any relative measure on this forum!

Among others, I defer to Bystander, Marcus, Jeff, Tom, Nereid, SelfAdjoint...need I say more? [*(] [*(] [*(]

They MUST look more like Dexter than I do.

[Ivan Seeking]

Hint:

Its not dexterity

[recon]

This is one of the few games I am actually decent at. [:)]

Monique, think about Ivan's hint while trying to find out what's the algorithm behind. [!:)]

[Javelin_mad]

3secs "phew"

[Peter Pan]

Yeah!!

16 baby

[Artman]

7 seconds 5th try all others around 30.

Hey! How come when I pasted in this it didn't show the little "A+"?

Cause you didn't do that.

[BobG]

1 min 19 sec. F--. :frown:

23 seconds on my third try, though :smile: That's a B+.

[Moonbear]

Um, I can't even get the game to load right. There seems to be some blue text on top of some black text with a splotch of red in it. :rolleyes:

[PICsmith]

Moonbear, I had the same thing happen when I used Foxfire as my browser but it works just fine with Explorer...

[PICsmith]

I finished the game in 1 seconds.
You deserve an A++!

I still don't get the algorithm... :confused:

You can view the source and see the javascript for the game, not very big and I couldn't see anything that gave away the secret. Anyone care to enlighten me? :tongue:

[decibel]

20 seconds A- ...better than i thought :biggrin:

[mattmns]

1st try was a c-

2nd try was a :cry:
