If this thread doesn't erupt into everyone posting their times, I'll be very disappointed.

3.911, but as it is a programming forum, let's see who can hack it :)

4.692
3.891

I only retried something like 10 times too.

I just tried again and got it down to 3.571 but it won't let me post my high score because i can't see the 'security' code it is asking me to submit... This sucks.

That seems a little too fast. I had a 7.969 after a few tries error free. It's an ackward thing to type and I'd be impressed if someone here types more than twice as fast as I do...

With cold fingers I can manage 6.4592 seconds (error-free, 1st try). I might try again with warm fingers.

Then you're not typing a...z in 3.9 seconds, you're typing a...garbage...z in 3.9 seconds :P

how would you know? it doesn't even say how many errors one made. and thats 3.5 seconds.
Sep 22, 2010 at 7:32pm
I did 5.43 after a few tries. Once you get the hang of it it's surprisingly easy.
Sep 22, 2010 at 7:33pm
My 3.97112 was error free. :p
But even if you do have errors, you're still type a through z in 3.9 seconds. :)

Hasn't anyone tried using xmodmap to put the keys in a more convenient order first?

  case constant2:

}


Not like that. :(
