First try and I hit 101 words per minute. How did you do?

I will admit I had to hit backspace a couple of times there to get all the words correct. It would be better if it would take that into account.

I did 87 words with 1 mistake. I closed the page on accident so I can't quote all the information. But yeah 87 words. 101 words is ridiculous.

If the words had been more like, "function", "endfunction", "repeat", "until", etc. I would have done much better. Haha.

I got 65 words with 5 wrong, but I spent some time backspacing to fix 2 or 3 of the words and got them wrong again and wasted lots of time.

Were you typing that faster than you were thinking that?

That first time I must have been lucky, because most other times I only hit around 95. I did get to 103 after a few tries. I don't know what BearCDP2 is on, but I want some.

Edit: Wohoo! 105! My new record:

Like Jenku, my fingers move faster than I can think.

I only got 67, but I can probably do better. I skipped a word or something and just kept typing. So I was one word off for a sentence which marked so many things wrong, then I sat there for a second trying to figure out where I should be typing.


Hah, knew I could be faster!
