Today's latest silly online game straight from the Straight Dope forum:
How many taps (i.e. hitting the same button over and over) can you do in a minute?
I start out over 400, but around 380 seems to be my average, at least for the first minute.
The forumgoers have multiple strategies for upping the numbers, including multiple fingers on multiple keys, which I think is a different category entirely. Random flailing over the entire keyboard gets me up to about 1400, but gets exhausting really fast.
Anyway, if you want to waste a minute on a meaningless task and are at an actual keyboard (and aren't somewhere where the noise would bother someone), give it a try.
