Sounds like you are bored. The object of the game is to move the red block around without getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls. If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal. It's been said that the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are expected to go for at least 2 minutes. Give it a try but be careful...it is addictive!! Air Force Test >>> http://members.iinet.net.au:80/~pontipak/redsquare.html

Thanks Smokey. That is both tough and addicitive. I got as high as 17.992, which is not over 18 seconds, but I'll just kind of round up and call it quits for now.

I hope you aren't still trying to out-do the air force. LOL You asked for new posts so you could just lurk?

19.37! It took several tries, but after the initial surge, you can camp out in the very top left corner for a long time before the big lumbering blue one finally figures it out and goes over that way, but he's slower that molasses, so just give him a matador move, and you should hit the 18 second mark.

That was interesting. They speed up once you hit 20 secs. Reminds me of Pong.
Wed, 05/21/2008 - 13:44 — 22.46 Yeah, they do speed

22.46 Yeah, they do speed up after 20. The key is not to panic. Make slow adjustments and don't be herky jerky!

Hey Mr.T, you seem to be going into hibernation now and then. Don't be such a stranger. Your voice of wisdom has been sorely missed. But if you're an advocate of loud BOOM BOOM car subwoofers, please keep your opinion to yourself and stay off the other thread dealing with it :o)

I think Mr. T prefers to fly under the radar but you know he's watching us closely. He's like that character on LOST, Jacob, who only reveals himself occasionally when he feels like it. I kind of noticed a pattern, like Mr. T can't restrain himself when there's a brain teaser or video game on the table. I think the last time he emerged the topic was about Guitar Hero. LOL!

Last I saw Mr. T, he was defending himself from Backrow over on a volleyball thread. He put up a good block though, and I hope he makes it back in here more often. 18.718! I'm good to go now.

Bored? Yes. I just finished a Greg Iles book: Blood Memory. Its a 785 page tome, but, well-worth reading. Finished both the Commuter and New York Times crossword this morning, too. Now what? I spray-painted 3 wicker chairs for Lynn for our game room that we use maybe two times a year? Have to admit, they look fabulous, although I fought her tooth and nail to leave them the way they were. Women know best...Planted three tomato plants son, Nathan, gave me in some super-duper planters I got last year from Gardener's Supply Co. They worked well last year until I figgered out the water indicater tubes were'nt working: overwatered, killed the crop...Won't make that mistake again this year. Planted a bunch of bush beans in some raised planters where some roses died. So far, so good. We can't eat the roses, anyway. Finishing orchard irrigation today (hope the neighbors don't think I'm wasting precious City Water:we're still on our well, only using City water to fill the pool). I digress. Check out the book! Too much background, yadda, yadda, yadda, but it gets better towards the end. Very surprising ending! Couldn't put it down. Roy Gursky http://gurskyranch.com
