Very slow, in my defence I've had 4 pints in my local, 1 bottle of beer at home, and I must have had 4 glasses of wine in front of the goggle box.

I'll try again tomorrow after I've had a shower :D

This took a few goes (I have a seemingly heavy finger):

Needless to say I'm stone cold sober :D

Funny that the last is usually the fastest, it probably is because the bigger dot startles me.

0.217 - not too bad I reckon, especially as it's 00:40 here and I've not long walked back from a rather boozy dinner on a delightfully mad German's "gin palace".. :-)

Edited to add: And, of course, I'm in my late 50s... :cry:

Ha! Looks like I get the high score so far then! 0.217! And that's after a couple of large Baileys! Maybe I "need a few inside me" to be a good driver?! Interestingly, one of the best racing drivers I know is really bad at this sort of game!

I just spent a while trying to optimise my frame of mind, it seems I have to really focus solely on how I want to react.

Better way to judge reaction - wife says "bed" - how long to get there .:roll:
That way, we're all equal.(bet the older ones are faster)

Like an old joke on applicant for civil service - tea trolley arrives - head of board says " you've failed -you took 30s to realise tea trolley had arrived" :roll:

I still can't better 0.25 - and I am stone-cold sober.

What does this mean folks - am I a nightmare driver? I know my works colleagues think so...

edit: or could it be that my video is pipelined somehow by about 0.1 sec?

Range of 0.2 - 0.21 over five goes, best for the small dot 0.191 and big dot 0.177. The biggest problem was not blinking at the wrong time.

0.164 :bow:

Edit: Sorry Chimera I take that back, just looked at Smeggy's link :shock:
