A hint for people who can't imagine finishing a puzzle in less than 50 seconds: I've found these last two Mondays I can click much more quickly without losing accuracy if I clean out the rollers of my mouse before playing. That's if you have an old-fashioned ball mouse and a desk as grubby as mine.  |

Tried that - my weekend mouse is filthy beyond all repair!

Wish I could blame my weekend times on a dirty mouse - don't know what happened today, just couldn't see the solution and ended up guessing most of it. |

I have one of those fancy laser mice, sans cord.
I'm drooling over one of those tablet pc's though. To use a pen to do these would increase my time by at least 50%, I'd guess ... Or maybe my hand would get in the way? I've never actually printed out a puzzle and compared times. |

Something which would improve my times no end, is something to map nearby clicks onto the actual edges they are closest to. (Something my LoopDeLoop program does.) I am forever clicking and getting no response because i've moved my mouse just a little bit short of the target.
Unfortunately I can see that this would be a pain to write in javascript. |

Oh yes! Although with my grotty mouse, I don't know if that would make things better or worse... Maybe I should just stick to doing these puzzles before work. |
