As if you folks need any more excuses to waste time, here's another one anyway...

http://www.wwk.kiev.ua/squares.html

Here's another URL for it:
[Link: members.iinet.net.au]

The description on this page is in Russian, so I'll explain how the game works. The idea is to keep the red square away from the blue squares and the black border. To start the game, you click and hold the mouse on the red square. At that point, the other squares will start flying around the place, so you should use the mouse to move the red square so it doesn't get hit by one of the flying blue squares. You should also avoid hitting the black border with the red square.

As soon as contact is made with the border or another square, the clock stops and the game will tell you your time-score.

If you can avoid any clashes for 18 seconds, according to the Russian text, you are an expert.

American flighter pilots have apparently got scores of over 2 minutes.

Give it a try, it's pretty tough. My best score so far (I only started today) is 20.172 seconds

Tried it for about 5 minutes. 7.985 is the best I could get. It's hard. But probably worth playing around with from time to time to keep that part of the brain sharp.

I'll bet it would help with driving!

44.023 (but PC slowed down for a few seconds -background computations - even though it caused my death - blocks just appeared on top of me- it could have helped with the rest)

I think 44.023 gets thrown out if the PC slowed down on you and made it easier!!! (Or maybe just because I'm jealous! LOL)

If you can get over 15 again, then MAYBE I'll let the 44.023 stand! MAYBE!!! ;-)

Irritating! The people who make these games should be shot!

And those who post the links in this forum should be whipped with a wet noodle!

And "I" should be put in an institution for clicking on the dang links!!!

I look forward to it . . . seeing Greg dressed up in thigh length boots and a leather basque, wet noodle whip in hand.
