"You have the reaction of a 23 year old". Since I'm 45, I guess I should take that well, but I would guess it has more to do with spending my 45 (one way) mile daily commute watching for animals on the road.

Or simply having a fast computer. If you make the window smaller the graphics speed up and your reaction times magically shrink.

The Macbook I took it on is by no means fast. I do take the point about judging hand-eye by methods with such a potential for variance. I do wonder how one overcomes that on the web?

- First time i was distracted, not sure where the sign would appear. Hit mouse and got 44 years old. - Second try i was focused and got 25 years old. - third try i changed to keyboard since mouse is slow, and got "not sure if you are a human being" (288 ms)

In real life i am 38. Perhaps this is a good test for attention level or something like that. Not exactly age per se. But i understood the point ;)
