Beating Usain Bolt out of the blocks.
See if you can beat him here.
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...pgtype=article It took me about 20 tries, and when I did beat him at last, the message said, "You would have been disqualified because your reaction time was short enough that you would have been thought to false start", or something like that. |

So I was playing around and decided to let the timer run and try to stop it on exactly 10 seconds.
So far 9.898 is my closest attempt. EDIT: 09.999 ON YOUR MARK SET BANG Were you even trying?

.139 best try. I got a couple sub-.1, but the system says that's faster than humanly possible and I'm disqualified for a false start. And to be fair, I was trying to time the gun shot, not waiting for the gunshot before reacting.

The best I could do on the touchpad on my laptop by reacting to the gun and not anticipating it is about 0.25 seconds. Clearly I was not cut out for sprints.

Without trying to time the gunshot I seem to take roughly double the amount of time to react.

I remember a few of them around here. It would not surprise me if she wraps herself around an idea and can't get out. Just dumb.
