Scott said on 12/08/05 @ 08:15 AM: 6.5, and I don't think I could do it any faster. It seems much harder than typing actual words and sentences!
josh said on 12/08/05 @ 09:22 AM: 6.474 seconds on my first try
josh said on 12/08/05 @ 09:23 AM: immediately followed by a 5.17. better quit while i'm ahead of whatever it is that i'm ahead of.
Burton Simmons said on 12/08/05 @ 11:09 AM: 8 seconds on my first try...
5.8 on my fourth. I decided to stop there.
fran said on 12/08/05 @ 03:56 PM: first try was 5.638...way harder than i thought it would be
fran said on 12/08/05 @ 03:58 PM: Broke the 5 second barrier at 4.747...I'm quitting while I'm "ahead" too ;-)
Mark said on 12/08/05 @ 04:22 PM: Why would we want to? We type enough as it is! Let us know when voice recognition interfaces actually work...
Paul said on 12/08/05 @ 05:52 PM: I'm very proud of my 5.094 second alphabet-typing, and I'm leaving it for what it is.. before I get my fingers in a knot.
Paul said on 12/08/05 @ 05:54 PM: (4.891.. and I'm really stopping now..)
Darn you, Jake! Stop posting this silly games!!! Grrr!

Robert said on 12/12/05 @ 07:18 AM: 4.062 seconds - whew!
Rob said on 12/13/05 @ 06:32 PM: I did it earlier today in 2.125 seconds; granted the thing I did it on allowed errors, that's still pretty quick imo. The list showed people who "did it" in 1.001, but I'm sure they cheated. It's really hard to beat the 2 second barrier, I have to like pretty much button mash the keyboard but know what I'm doing...kind of like a DOA fan. I tried it, and after a bit my brain felt like mush just trying to keep up with it; 5 minutes of that was about as bad as the entire SAT.
