The first one is insane difficult. For me it's impossible to keep two numbers in mind at that speed, but what worked better is to count the blue ones normally in your mind and instead of counting the red ones you like draw the number in your mind as if you were on paper, like turning it into an image instead. So I managed to get all after several hours of practice with the counting and image combo.

I was so depressingly awful at this lmaoo

I gave up and just started watching to see if each shape was on beat, my bad

I enjoyed the background music so, I kinda focused a little more on that!

[AlexGarcia-dves]

Once it started i immediately gave up put the phone and just started jamming to music 😤🕺

I thought this thing was going so fast that my playback speed was not at normal so I checked! And it was at normal and I’m like “what!!”

[BostYT]

I couldn't pass because that beat was just too sick 😆

I counted the right number of circles and x's but I didn't think I'd have to count a number for each. I only counted the total. What I was looking for was not to count red circles or blue x's which I assumed were gonna show up to mess us up. Oops.

Yellow traffic light lengths are based on "average" reaction times (not a good test for the elderly). I'd like to see the reaction times including multiple cars (both directions), cross traffic, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, and traffic lights ... all occurring simultaneously ... plus additional time for a human to hit the brakes.

my ADHD could never, i stopped halfway throughout the video because my cat meowed at me 🌝

[iamsongforsomeone]

I started and immediately gave up. That probably has something to do with my ADD though. Or it could just be me in general.

I listen to audiobooks all day, like actually listen, and operate a bulldozer to grade within an inch, while keeping aware of my surroundings and having 0 safety instances in 10 years. Point being... you can totally multitask when you separate audio from a purely hand-eye coordination thing you've been doing for a while.

Visual multitasking: 7 points (16 Xs, 21 Os, and green square)
Audio multitasking: 2 points for left ear, 2 points for right ear

Final results: Advanced: 11






(Did this because it was fun lol)

1. 22 Os and 16 Xs (I did it twice but following the same strategy both times, the second time I counted them right. I also had to restart it twice because I got distracted and stopped counting, so Idk if that counts as cheating, but I hope it doesn't) points: +4 +2 +3, I saw the square at once :)

2. Left side: Purple, Right side: Computer engineering, I couldn't do the other ones (I also thought the "Computer Engineering" was at the lef side, idk) points: +1 +1

Final score: 11, advanced :D

[sparky]

I just gave up within the first second
