02Questions about this benchmark
Why does my reaction time swing so much?+
Sleep debt, caffeine timing, stress, and hardware latency all move the needle. Track them beside your scores.
How many attempts should I run?+
50-60 high-quality clicks per day is plenty. More leads to fatigue and slower times.
