    Default Google doodle: Hurdles 2012 game

    For those who haven't noticed, there's a game which you can play on the google homepage. You simply tap the left and right arrow keys to run and the spacebar to jump. You can also use a mouse but I wouldn't recommend it. My best time is currently 10.6 (not on video) and 5BLD's best time is 10.2 at the moment (without cheating). Here's a 10.6 which he recorded earlier.



    If anyone can beat this, please make a video like the one shown above with your fingers, keyboard, and screen in view. There are loads of videos on youtube of people just recording their screens and it's hard to tell if they're just cheating or not especially without any sound. Maybe someone can film a sub 10 (with sound)

    Methods which seem to work well IMO are tapping left and right with your indexes and using your left pinky for space bar. Another one is to tap left and right using the index and middle fingers on one hand and spacebar with the other.

    Hehe, I got addicted to this today for quite a while. My best was 10.5. I will not bother making a video though.

    I got a 10.2 with left index right index and left pinky but I used the other strategy in the video cuz my pinky was hurting xD
    The tricks to not go too fast with the arrows...
    (a^b)^c = a^(b c) e^(2 i pi c floor(1/2-(Im(b log(a)))/(2 pi)))
    I've been cubing for only just over 2 years and I feel old already

    Clicking the mouse makes you run faster... however jumping becomes harder
