OK, I have tried this quiz so many times and I can only get 132 (which is still level 3). I've tried multiple keyboards too. I guess I just don't have the brain/finger connection to work it. Can someone tell me the best way to get a 4 or 5 on this quiz...or give me a good cheat?
Left index finger on the G, right second finger on the H. Move you forearms up and down, if you're doing it right your arms should be burning after 10 seconds of stroking. Keep going, maintain the pace, really work up a sweat. It helps to beat those keys with a rhythm, so count 1-2-3-4 and make the 1s slightly accented.
wow you came up with something even less intellectual than the average speed-typing tests.
I'm not going to take this, but, my fingers are quite "twitchy" or at least used to be. I remember playing this stupid online game Dance Dance Karnak way back where you were awarded points for how many times you could press the arrow keys before the next one passed by... the game would repeatedly accuse me of cheating as apparently I was approaching the speeds you'd get just by holding down the key.
Although I did it and got better result than 67% of the others, I really don't like these. This is not a "quiz" at all but just some kind of a speed test.
Sorry guys for being a wiseass, but for me a quiz is something that requires knowledge (and memory).
Hi Jerry! I love your quizzes, including this one, but I have a critique that is worth considering. I don't think 10% of quiz takers should be getting the maximum possible score. Measuring everyone's fast-twitch typing ability creates a bell curve, and by capping the scores at a number that's easily attainable for some portion of quiz takers, you're essentially chopping off the right tail. I think the number of G's and H's should max out at 400 or 500 so that it's literally impossible to get a perfect score. That way, we can get a complete bell curve that distinguishes the top scores from each other so it isn't a hundred-way tie.
OK Elan, here's your version idea - let's see how the bell curve emerges! I suspect it'll become more like a Poisson distribution curve, with asymmetric tails, but let's see!
I was trying to figure out why I was able to easily get 160 on this quiz with several seconds left, considering I'm no spring chicken, and I don't even play fast-twitch type video games. But it occurred to me that keyboard quality probably matters... and I typically use a pretty nice, kinda expensive mechanical-switch keyboard. I tried again with a regular cheap membrane desktop keyboard and also on a laptop's internal keyboard, and I even waited a while between attempts to make sure my fingers weren't fatigued, and it was definitely more difficult on an inferior keyboard.
not sure if my keyboard/laptop is too fast or too slow, or if it is a matter of settings, but it often registered keys more than once while I only pressed down once. So semipressed (not lifting my finger up far enough) would register as new keystrokes.
I know you can adjust mouse-sensitivity for instance, no idea if you have similar setting for the keyboard.
Not specifically just this quiz, but every so often on Jetpunk I am no longer focused in the answer block and have to click back in it to get my typing to register. I'm not touching anything but my keyboard, yet the focus shifts. Anyone know what causes this?
Flashbacks to playing osu! in middle school. Developed some sort of strain injury from it I think. As of now I still experience pain whenever I press with my middle finger too much rapidly lol.
I spent like an hour and could not get 5/5 so i coded a python program to do it which took another 2 hours... I feel like I have earned the 1 point at this point
My thumbs are too fat I typed 62 with one thumb alternating. Bruh this cannot be the same as the me who got double the "world record" in the snapchat slicing filters.
I'm afraid to go too fast on the computer because sometimes i press g or h 2 times and then it just breaks the entire thing :(((((((((((((((((((((((((( 139/160
Don't think I'll get past 130. It was my first attempt, I tried like 10 times more but they were all lower. I haven't been able to do a run without fumbling once, usually I mess up 3 times (letters get registered multiple times)

Great quiz! (not really a quiz)

So really, then, @Youregoodatthis.
I'll take it.
my keyboard appreciated the pummel
— 160, 12s
160 two hands with 1 second left
10/10 quiz reminds me of when I played Osu
