I fairly sure that the top left number is your slowest time. The top number is your percentile. I think average and standard deviation explain themselves.

243 AVG
80.16
63 years old on satalitte hook up but I don’t think the internet speed is a factor, on 98se box with only 600 Hz CPU, maybe some lag there, 100 hz FSB.

Took it on a lark; I’m on cyclobenzeprine for a back injury, so I knew it’d be crap. 70.something. I’ll take it again when it clears out of my system

I only did it once, because I already know my attention span is too short to do it again. 😛

Alright, it’s not a percentage. But higher is still better.
Nice score.
