Speed is a desirable attribute for musicians. So, how fast are you? Test it on these sheep: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sleep/sheep/reaction_version5.swfMy fastest single time was .097. My fastest overall was .222 Remember....I'm slow.

Hey Mike,
Nope, not the mouse. It's the sheep. They're beating you LOL.
This game doesn't really test your physical speed. It tests your reaction time, not quite the same thing. Your reaction time includes your physical speed, but it also includes hand eye co-ordination. It involves what is known as the OODA loop. The OODA loop is the decision making matrix. OODA is: Observe, Orient, Decide, Act. When in a decision making situation, such as performing music, we move along that loop. External factors can break that loop, at which time we must revert to the first step: observe.

Tried it three times. Twice "ambling armadillo," once "sluggish snail." Figures. I never claimed to be fast, only half-fast. That's why I play country music.
I should note (from the OODA standpoint) the sheep do give signals when they're about to bolt. It's just not usually the sheep that's bolting that is giving the furtive glances. And from a musician standpoint, I probably do the same thing (as watching for furtive glances from the sheep)--if I can figure out where another musician is going to go, I can plan on being there when he or she gets there. Helps make up for the half-fast stuff.

I had Bobbing Bobcat on my first try. I got Rocketing Rabbit (0.2) the second time. I hit the right mouse button the third time and got Sluggish Snail (mutter, mutter, mumble, mumble).

Thanks a lot! Now my blood pressure is probably up!
Twice got Rocketing Rabbit with best at .168 then .167 with average being .197 for both sets.
Those two sets were after jumping the gun though on my first one and ending up a sluggish snail. I got mad and focused! Those sheep paid the price! (Don't piss me off). I took on a pitcher's focus with a third baseman's reaction. Deadly combo, and I played both for real! LOL
I have to calm down now though.........Ah,,,that's better.

GREAT FUN, Bro Mikey!
Twice an Armadillo,,,then Twice a Bobbing Bobcat, THEN I nailed 3 sheep at the Second Line-In...and got 3-second-penalized for bein' sheepishly "Faked Out".
All Downhill from then-on...(but I'll try again later to see if I can ever get in the Rabbit League!)
.2434 is "Personal Best"...(Prolly help if I clean these Glasses..eh?) ;-)>
Thanks for The Challenge, Amigo! Best Wishes & a Big Elderly Guy-Hug, Stan

I am calling "being drawn offsides"! Twice the center (sheep) raised its head a faked like they were going -- 3 second penalty on me. Besides those, I think I'll be stuck with bobbing bobcat. There is always one that catches me unguarded (I am not ADD, but for this I sort of was).
Kevin
P.S. By the way, if you sit there and never click the tranquilizer, your time is 3 seconds for each sheep. Just in case you were wondering (I was).
