It guessed that I was 33. Divide that in half and it would pretty spot on.

#72It looks like it even transmits mouse move events on the canvas via ajax to the server. Too bad we don't know the calculations over there.
I used a Thinkpad tracking point which is extremely accurate and fast (Lenovo will hopefully not remove them from the next ThinkPad after the T431 :-( ), yet the page guessed I was 10.
Re: Click on a few dots and our program will guess your age
#73I'm 35. It gave me 55 on my 1st attempt using the trackpad on my brand new laptop which I'm still getting used to (I turned on momentum yesterday and am not used to it yet). I then plugged in a mouse and got 30. The sensitivity on the mouse wasn't what I was used to, I felt hampered. I'll try it again at home on the machine + mouse set up I use when playing starcraft 2 and hope that I get at least a few years younger.

#74Said 29 for me, I'm 24.

#75My guess - this experiment has nothing to do with the clicks, but rather is trying to measure something else. Something like the amount of time people take on breaks, plotted against the amount of time people spent reading the instructions. Or something like that.
If you notice the red balls aren't random. I could always predict what the next ball was. It's always the one straight across.
Could be measuring how many people pick up on the pattern.

Same with me. Said I was 28 the second time I tried where I feel like I "tried harder".

#77It said I'm 36. It guessed 30.
What?

Wait--as opposed to a curve??
