Rabbit | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 12:00 pm     Spygirl hon, I'm kind of busy but want to participate. Could you register Rabbit for me and give my name a test run. Anything over 515 will do. Thanks in advance Spybud. |
Whit4you | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 12:00 pm     Whoami - he's at 17 cpm now! Almost double his score this morn... he seems to be doubling his score each time he plays at that rate he'll be at ... 65,000 cpm in another 32 plays LOL. |
Phatcat | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 12:23 pm     328 now...woohoo |
Whit4you | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 12:45 pm     Well I think I've figured out at least one aspect of the scoring of this game - it only counts correct characters as you know.. so if you can help yourself don't correct your errors, when you realize (if you realize) you've made an error on a word hit space.. and go on to the next word. This didn't take long for me to get used to because the typing tutor I learned on did NOT allow backspace. Know what I mean? Lets say your typing the word November - and halfway through you realize you put a u instead of an o - don't go back and correct it and don't finish the word since it won't count anyhow just hit space and go onto the next word. Now if your playing to increase your OWN score and not say to nudge above the person one over you then this tip don't matter at all. If you always fix your words - then you always do and your improved score would reflect that. |
Jagger | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 01:03 pm     Well it showed me that I really bite at typing, and that is why I need to re-read my posts because of all the spelling errors, and wrong key hits. |
Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 01:56 pm     Nice going, Alegria.

Whoami | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 02:47 pm     Tried a few times this afternoon. Sucked big time the first try, and even worse each time after that! Got myself so "nervous" I can't even type this very well (hit backspace several times already). *sigh* I think I'll just go the the store now, like I'm supposed to be doing. |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 02:55 pm     I type pretty fast on a normal day, but when I take a test, I get very nervous..LOL I also correct, as I go. Sooo it did deduct points from me. |
Alegria | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 04:12 pm     LOL!!! This test makes me want to invest in a new, better, faster, more responsive keyboard |
Whit4you | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 04:14 pm     Alegria - a keyboard ain't really a keyboard until the a..l ..n..and f letters on top of the keys...are missing. |
Halfunit | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 04:31 pm     Whit - Just saw your note about my double score. I've sent an e-mail to the powers that be and asked them to remove one of my scores. Sorry about that. |
Sage | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 05:39 pm     Oh wasn't that fun! LOL, I'll never be a fast typist, no matter what. 225 is so-so. |
Djgirl5235 | Wednesday, November 06, 2002 - 04:31 am     Look out UhOh - I just tied you! |
Djgirl5235 | Wednesday, November 06, 2002 - 04:38 am     You know, I keep having trouble with the spelling because some of the words I spell differently being Canadian... The American spelling I actually have to think about and then I get all screwed up!!!! |
Jed245 | Wednesday, November 06, 2002 - 04:46 am     I know how you feel DJgirl. I tried it and keot seeing words not spelled correctly and it messed me up alot. Not sure where I am I think 19? I got 297 cpm's. :o) Jed. |
Weenerlobo | Wednesday, November 06, 2002 - 05:11 am     Ok - I thought it would be a good idea to take this after drinking my morning coffee - uh, NO! hehehe My hands were shaking all over the keyboard and I start laughing uncontrollably. Maybe after lunch I'll try again. |
Whoami | Wednesday, November 06, 2002 - 02:17 pm     Well, you guys are all going to just keep pushing me further down the list. I still can't beat my high of 281! *sigh* |
Sbw | Wednesday, November 06, 2002 - 05:09 pm     OOoohhhh..... I don't think I like this. I was just gonna go in and see what you were talking about. Well after 3 tries, I want to try more. Geez.... I don't have time for this!!! |
Juju2bigdog | Wednesday, November 06, 2002 - 09:25 pm     Hahahahahahaha!!! I have only been once! Neener! |
Whoami | Wednesday, November 06, 2002 - 11:24 pm     OK, that's enough for today! I tried several times, and came within one point of my high. That 281 I got must have been a fluke! Maybe if I get a good night's sleep, I can do better! |
Whit4you | Thursday, November 07, 2002 - 08:51 am     Whaomi - I have the same thing happen - try doing what I suggested and as soon as you realize you've mistyped a word - hit space and go on to the next word, cause that word won't count anyhow. |
Rig | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 09:29 am     Darn it, I'm having trouble increasing my speed. How do you make your fingers go faster? |
Weenerlobo | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 09:38 am     Ok this IS fun, but ARG! hehehehe Measly 298 today. |
Rig | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 09:41 am     I wish I could do 298. |
