I wonder if i can stay at work doing this, and get overtime...

Ive gotten 6 perfect lights, but hats out of probobally a few hundred tries. It would be cool if someone could program it to have a counter, and a chart or list that kept track of reaction times. If only i knew how to do that.

The first two times were pretty good, then I was red lighting all the time, then I was way late...

You aren't supposed to wait for the green light. Hold your finger 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch above your clicky thing, that should get you under .6 every time.
