The real trick would be to do it that fast without locking all the wheels.

I was trying not to “game it” by laser focusing on the screen. I tried to imagine me actually driving so I was kinda looking around, keeping my eyes generally on the road. it got my age pretty close. if i focus in like im expecting it, I get down to about 260 ms

Seems more or less dead on. I got a repeatable 22-25 years old, I’m 22. With a few mishaps.

First run, I was looking for a sign at the side of the road.

Missed the mouse key before I figured out space worked too

I’m either an 18 year old cheerleader on a mt. dew bender, or a blind old person currently having a stroke, depending on which input method i try.

With practice and finding the key that works best I got a couple of these too though

I’ve had that happen at least two times. The worst though is one I couldn’t even identify. One time I was driving with the window open and some HUGE bug landed on my neck. I instinctively grabbed it and threw it out the window. About ten seconds later, the reality of what had happened hit me and I wanted to crawl into a fetal position and cry. I don’t know what that thing was and I hope to never find out.

Somehow I got 183. Maybe it’s because my GTO has huge brakes on it.

I’d like to think that I assessed the situation before reacting, personally. It’s like going into Hogan’s Alley and NOT shooting the mom and the baby just because you have a gun.

Interesting. When I use my mouse I’m a 40 year old. But when I use my keyboard I’m a 18-20 year old.

Obama hacked my mouse to delay my reactions to his virtual assassins.

yeah the fact that the input isn’t registered until you lift off the key (at least on my computer) makes it less how fast are you reacting and more how fast are you reacting and how fast you can physically click a button.

Yeah, I was trying to make it realistic at first by looking ahead at the signs, because I thought that the stop sign was going to appear from behind a tree or something. It caught me off-guard with an initial age estimate of 32. Now that I know what to expect, I managed to squeeze out a 277 “inhuman” score.
