Subject: The Usain Bolt challenge

Tried earlier to challenge Usain Bolt, but while I beat him, I was still off compared to the fastest  times.  Maybe some of the hard core posters here have faster fingers than I do.

 Pretty nice idea by Puma.

It's been 25 years since I played the Decathlon video game and tried to do the 100 meter sprint on that.  I need to work out! 9.95 only so far.

And on a Mac go apple /shift / 3 to print the complete screen or apple /shift /4 to select a specific area of the screen.

OK, 9.53 but got very sore fingers and people in the office asking me what the hell I am doing. Don't see much productivity happening around here for the next ten minutes.

I think you need to take a doping test.

9.70 my first try, 9.48 my second. Seems like two tries is enough for me.  If I keep going, I'll be sitting up til 1 AM destroying my keyboard, trying to set a PR.
