Of course I can't! I can barely break 10 seconds!

Somehow the flash plugin doesn't seem to support remote desktops, so I can't. smile

2.91 seconds for me, first time.

Now whenever I try I fluff up and miss a letter.

9.33 on my first attempt. I'm surprised and really rather pleased that I got it in under 10 seconds. After a few goes I got down to 6.53, and now can't better that.

It's all about co-ordinating both hands together for the first sweep up to H then you have to shift both hands over together to carry on with I which lets you catch the next batch, then another hand shift again back for Q then just hit the rest.

Once you link these loops together, your on your way to a better score.

I'm also a relatively proficient piper which also encourages very fast finger movement.

Myself and fellow young programmer used to battle daily on my vb3 project called 'Alpha'.

My record is 1.79 seconds, his was 2.7.

Single mistake, forget breaking any records smile

I'd be around the 5 mark if it wasn't for my sticky 'coca-cola' keys

I'd be around the 5 mark if I wasn't such a clumsy sausage fingered tt of a typist.

I'd go quicker in boxing gloves.
