Dude, you are hardcore...I wanted to break your record, so I sat there for about 20 minutes playing the damn thing. Then my girlfriend came by and slapped me in the side of head and said, "go do something useful, you freaking idiot..."

Ok, 20 question has became a fluke. But ya, I am a distant 2nd behind you in 60 and 100...if only I have time to train and hide from my gf...

I still maintain that 20q is not a fluke by any stretch. When I'm distracted or otherwise unable to concentrate my times come in the 7.2-7.5 range. When I wake up in the morning with a relatively clear head I can get 6.6-6.8 maybe 30% of the time. I honestly believe that if I keep playing another week I will eventually be able to get 6.0 three times in a single hour. It's just a matter of acclimating your brain to the higher speed, like playing guitar hero when the song has an insane number of notes per second.

I was actually calling it a fluke for your sake. It's obvious that no one can do the 20 question in under 5 seconds, the screen can't even move fast enough to read the question. But there are 3-4 people that record time less than 7, but none of them is recording similar time in 60 and 100 questions.

But whatever, you are taking this beyond serious...

who are these 3-4 people with times under 7? I'm pretty sure the best time anyone else has gotten is around 7.4, not counting the 3.91 entry, and if you extrapolate 7.4 out to 60 or 100 without factoring in the extreme improbability of someone recording their 3-5 fastest sprint times consecutively you get 22.2 and 37.0, which are both times that will have been recorded within the next day or two.

Aside from all that, a quick glance at the last 24 hours indicates that nobody ever plays the 100q with division, and this is only slightly less true for 100q without division.
 
This app is flawed in that it only works one part of your brain. So, while your math skills are improving, your cognitive and visual skills are not.

Wow, you're still going at it. Curious what you expect to gain from this, world championship trophy? =)
 
My times are now
7.63
24.4
44.3
Not bad, but I think I will improve a bit when I get my own i-phone- I only get to try when my son lets me borrow his phone. lol
 
I am a newbie to this forum and this is my first post. Here are my times

20 : 7.8913
60 : 26.6881
100 : 46.7673
