0.273 seconds is the fastest I got.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

   This is an interesting test and who but a Scot would have brought a skill test involving the chasing sheep to our attention?  ;D ;D ;D

    I was in the Bobbing Bobcat/Rocketing Rabbit range once I had some coffee and played a few rounds AND my times were better with my eyes closed. "You must feel the force Luke." The scores of 0.00 are surprising and yes, years spent playing pinball has finally paid off.  ::) Now if I could only get all of those quarters back somehow...

Ha!  Got one at .0000 seconds.  Twitchy hands.  My best was .23, most were .25.    Age 66.  I noticed too that where the sheep came out affected my times.  If I focused on the middle, sheep that came out low showed the longer reaction times.

Bobby talk to me about old I went back in and bettered my score 1-2 out of 5 but still averaged .225 which I don't figure is bad for 70, I know if the snow was gone I'd be riding and my reaction time would be sharper, by the way luck with your treatments.

Bill, I am 59 so you have a couple of years on me. I always have had fast reflexes and we were tested and tested over and over again. I finally forgot the testing and remembered what they taught me. DO not look directly at where you expect the target to come from. In this case look to the right. Your peripheral vision is more sensitive to movement than center vision. In this case there is no aiming. They tried to defeat this visual cue by having some sheep move their heads. Look a bit more to the right. Try it a few times ad see if your score gets better.
Treatments are going pretty good, about 5 1/2 weeks left.

I accidentally got one at 0.0000 which I thought was a strange number. an extra zero?

my scores were .222 consistently even when I closed my eyes and did it by ear.
everything I say is pure speculation and
I have no idea what I'm talking about  ._.
