Re: catch thirtythree game

58 seconds on first "informed" try...I was a bit mislead by the game title.

My first overall try, I was just trying to catch the "33" for about the first 15 seconds. Duh.

Re: catch thirtythree game

1st time 48 seconds.
2nd time 40 seconds.
3rd time 35 seconds.
4th time 31 seconds.
5th time 29 seconds.

It does seem like my memory improved as I did it. Also, you can nail 5 or 6 right off in the beginning by starting your mouse in the center and wiggling it a bit before the numbers spread out too far.

Also a good strategy when one finds onself in a bar full of women.
