0.1992 seconds average was my peak there… so yeah, Rocketing Rabbit also. It’s late and I’m tired, but I’m also listening to loud piano accordian music, which keeps me on my toes. ~ Isaac ---

I couldn’t get past sluggish snail on my laptop (which has a touch pad). But I switched to my other computer, which has a mouse but no sound and got up to “rocketing rabbit”. My best average was 1.88 and my best shot was 1.25 (more than once). Don’t know if the sound helps or hurts. ---

I got a lot better scores at home on a faster computer/connection. Still not Cheetah fast, but .124 to .188 over a couple of rounds compared to .25 to .5 at work…
