2 minutes 16 seconds, 1 wrong, 36 correct!
I should've got all correct, I missed one
Very interesting!

Re: Speed Count the Blocks

I got 2 wrong and 36 right...

I shouldn't have missed the first one, but I accidentally clicked on it because the person sitting next to me bumped me! Now the second one, I was just plain WRONG!!!

And I don't like being wrong.

(I'm in Algebra right now, cuz it's the end of the school year and we can go on Math websites...)

Re: Speed Count the Blocks

Ganesh: 2:16 is fast!

Magister_Magi: only 2 wrong is fine.

The scoring is strange: you will always end up with 36 right because you have to click on the right one to advance. So you could end up with 36 wrong and 36 right! Maybe I should change that?

Re: Speed Count the Blocks

This game is interesting. I'm not going to post my score because it wasn't as good as ganesh's!

I agree. When you get one wrong, it should move onto the next question, because there's only two options and it's obvious which one is right. Maybe a time limited version of the game - Hall of Fame who can get the most questions in a minute? Or maybe, getting one wrong could add a few seconds to your total time?

Re: Speed Count the Blocks

36 correct 5 wrong - 2 mins 3 secs

I was kinda not concentrating that time, I'll try again

36 correct, 4 wrong - 1 mins 3 secs

On the third attempt, I got 36 correct and 1 wrong in 1 minute and 50 seconds. I still think it could be improved, though. :\

Great game BTW

UPDATE 21/03/2007: 1 minute and 18 seconds :: 36 correct, 0 wrong.

Go me.
