today is looking like a spammy day

A friend of mine from work sent me this link:

The object of the game is to move the red block around
Without getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls.

If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal. It's been
Said that the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are
Expected to go for at least 2 minutes.

Give it a try but be careful...it is addictive!!


The Air Force Game

And yes. It's completely addictive. My 'high score' so far is 7.76 seconds.

OMG DRIVING ME INSANE!! 14.05 seconds. I have to stop now before I break something - me or the laptop, I'm not sure which! :D

My mom sent me that last week! I hit a minute forty-five; the trick is that the blocks always move in the same patterns (always -- they follow normal geometrical rules, angle of incidence equals angle of reflection), and the normal human instinct is to yank the red block far out of the way of the oncoming blue blocks. You can't do that; the mouse (and your reflexes) aren't good enough to keep from touching the walls. The trick is to track all of the moving obstacles and just tap the red block out of the way slightly.

I'm actually not convinced it's possible to get past a minute forty-five; I stalled out there four times when there was no move I could have made without running into something. But it's possible I'm solving that section wrong somehow.

14.667, but I could get higher if I keep following the pattern
