How Fast Can You Type The Alphabet?

I did it in seven seconds, and that's probably slow for me as I'm about to go to bed. How'd you do?

6.5, and I don't think I could do it any faster. It seems much harder than typing actual words and sentences!

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.

8 seconds on my first try...
5.8 on my fourth. I decided to stop there.

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 ;-)

Why would we want to? We type enough as it is! Let us know when voice recognition interfaces actually work...

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:

i'm only 12 but i can type it no faster than 6 sec. lolz, i didn't think that somin little can actually make me interested... i thought that it was stupid at first but when i tried it, i was amused.

Robert said on 12/12/05 @ 07:18 AM:
4.062 seconds - whew!

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.
