I won my first race. I scored 118WPM and the second place runner scored 69WPM.

I rock.

104wpm on average over 5 races. Highest victory was 130WPM in race 4.

//edit: 105 on average over 10. I've really gotta get back to work.

I'm rubbish.

If you didn't notice you were in the top 20 at that point, I spotted you when I had my one and only go.

(won with 77wpm)

How exactly would one cheat at that game, anyway? Some of those high scores (210wpm) have to be cheaty scores, but how?

Write a quick script to copy the above letters to the text box?

Aah yes, I guess that would work. Can't quite see what the point is though (as with all cheating, really). When your high scores are basically 2wpm off the world record it's blatantly obvious there's something not quite legit about it ;)

Is that you in your avatar, Tam? If so, why do you appear to have a strip of insulation tape attached to your arm?

It's a comb. Which, um, I tied to her arm using the Xbox headset cable.

We suit each other, we really do.

Well done GazChap, who becomes the new Thursday game champion!
Even though it was a Friday game.
And it's now Sunday.

It's probably a bit skewed as I've been typing since I was 4 years old. 20 years of practice, adds up ;)

Indeed, GazChap's past 20 years of furiously manipulating his digits, whilst sat in front of his computer, has paid off well.
