How fun! I finally got to 18.2 after trying many times. The key is to move slowly at first, as David pointed out, and to hang out in the corners until the blocks begin moving faster.

I made it .366 seconds; after a sip of J&B, I made it 1.52 seconds.


edit:  now .269 seconds, bloody hell.

When they start to, move fast do a , hinkily dinkily.

doesn't cost much more for a better mouse. The old ball mice are no good....need a laser mouse old chum.

Fun.  18.2 after about 10 efforts.  One can get to 16 or 17 pretty easily by going slowly down, then looping up the top left corner, looping back down to middle of the right wall, then sliding over to the center and just hanging out.  At about 16.5 seconds the horizontal bar comes zipping up from the lower right and it is hard to avoid without hitting one of the larger quadrangles.

I concur with Horace, that trackpads are not the ideal instrument for this enterprise. I did manage a fiver on my third and last try, however.
