Average Human Reaction Time to Visual Stimulus

[Hootenanny]

I was wondering if anyone knows of a site that gives the average reaction time for a human. I'm looking for something which relates to someone stopping a stopwatch when a visual stimulus is seen? Any help would be appreciated.

Here is something that might help:

These times vary according to the character of the athlete, his degree of preparation and his concentration when the pistol goes off. The rules of the IAAF (International Amateur Athletic Federation) fix the minimum time of physiological reaction at 100 milliseconds.

Or this,

auditory stimulus 150 ms
visual stimulus 200 ms
pain stimulus 700 ms

Thank-you, me and my physics tutor were having a little debate... I win

I hope my revised figures I've just edited in don't loose you the bet.
