    Air Force Test: This will drive you nuts!! Have fun!
    The object of the game is to move the red block around without getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls. If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal. It's been said that the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are expected to go for at least 2 minutes. Give it a try but be careful ... it is addictive!!

    P.S. My longest was just over 11 seconds, but I've only played it 3 times. I can't imagine being able to avoid those things for two minutes.

    47.313. The key is to get to the bottom middle immediately, then make your way to the top left and hide out for 10 or so seconds. If you make it that far, you have a better-than-average shot of lasting a while.

    I wouldn't be so sure. The Air Force probably posted the game in the first place. The results are piped directly back to the Academy. Anyone with excellent hand/eye potential becomes a likely candidate for a scholarship.

    The Good Doctor, for example, is going to be abducted from his home tonight and wake up tomorrow in Colorado Springs.

    19 seconds. I hope they give the Air Force guys something better than a laptop mouse pad ...

    The game isn't working too well on my comp. There have been a few times where I click on the block and the game is already over. I have 4/5 bars or 5/5 on my wireless, but my comp is slowing down these days.

    Here is another game that is basically the same, but a instead of a red brick it's a filet-o-fish and instead of blue blocks there are sharks.
