I lost the will to live after 25m but I'm sure some of you have much more dedication than I do.

I was hoping I might be able to cheat with the "press scroll button, move mouse downwards and watch it scroll" option in Windows but the site is cleverer than me, I presume they can't fight the power of Apple though

9053 people have Apple mice.

I'm assuming this Apple mouse is a free-spinning one? Had a Logitech mouse at work which span freely with no resistance - would have been fantastic for that game, even if it's somewhat useless in real life.

Magic Mouser here. The track disappearing after 30m and running the rest of it on grass makes you faster

I'm bored, but only got to 3 metres before I became even more bored and stopped.

Ah. So is it just a matter of holding your finger in the right place, or do you have to keep stroking it?

Stroke it.

There's something dodgy about their average speed calculation and if you go too fast their JavaScript draws the track in the wrong place.

Anyway, can anyone here beat 6.88 seconds?

Is this where I have to come up with an excuse?

Our automation is more reliable than theirs.

iPad swiping doesn't work well, about 1m/s speed.
