    I've got something around 5sec after a few try's. But its not a good way to test your typing skills. Its just the ABC..

    There has been a thread bout it, it used a better test (you had to type over what was on the screen).

    i can type quickly but i find that my problem with tests like that is that i am concentrating so hard on trying to type fast i make so many mistakes and it gets discounted.

    but if i just type whilst im thinking i can type at a speed that i would call fast and relatively error free.

    Yeah, it's easy to cheat the system :p Not to say I don't type fast, I'm just not very accurate when typing at, oh, 120wpm (my normal). Good fun to play with that thing though :D

    I guess they didn't like that score, this is the screen I got when I tried to submit it:

    [​IMG]

    So, after playing with some timings, I got 16th and 17th place with this score:

    [​IMG]

    The time counter doesn't seem too acurate, some times it would give me 1.516, other times it would give me 1.412. Lots of fun.


    [EDIT]Oh, and the best I got without cheating was about 4.1 secs, but I wasn't trying that hard (it's not that fun to type with a wrist brace on)[/EDIT]
