When I roll a ball I wonder whats inside,

Another little ball, as long as it is wide.

Oh why do I wonder about this, it makes my head hurt.

I just want to go to bed without any dessert.

(Something I made in 5th grade…:))

Bump for my wonderful (And not died out) poem!

-Dunceiam :D

Hmm, odd, its ok for a 5th grade poem. Actually its very good compared to me because i don't write poetry because i suck at it.

Fifth grade? You have an excuse, then…

(:) Jk Jk)

Haha, but at least I got down the fact that balls are as long as they are wide!

About as much geometry as I knew at that time :p.

thats strange a fifth grader making poem about balls…

jk jk nice one

Hehe, you can blame my brothers and "strange" friends on that one! But hey, look how I turned out, a geek with a WPM of 68. :p

I had very strange friends from grades 5-6, they taught me a lot of "stuff".

eheh !:stirthepot:

68? I must test myself…

Which test did you use?

HERE I think

We did it in school, and I think it was there. Although I'm not sure…

It was really funny, since I'm like the only geek in my computers class, so while I got 68 WPM, others were getting 15 WPM, and I had to wait for so long for them to finish :p.

-Dunceiam

oh lol 15 damn their slow

A funny little tidbit about that test,

Let's say you had to type:

"Hello, my name is Michael."

You could get away with typing:

"Hello, name Michael."

Something to that effect.

You can skip right to the next word. Kinda cool :D

Eh, but then does it count the word that you skipped?

(Try any other WPM test :))

Not sure.

Doesn't really matter, though. It still ends up taking longer to contemplate in your mind what word goes next. Cheating doesn't pay off, in this :D

Net Speed: 88 WPM
(words/minute)
Accuracy: 97%
Gross Speed: 90 WPM
(words/minute)

I could do better if I read the text few times before I took this test.

Damn man. That's almost freakish.

Here's what I got without reading through the material beforehand.

Net Speed: 63 WPM
(words/minute)
Accuracy: 97%
Gross Speed: 65 WPM
(words/minute)

Net Speed: 62 WPM
(words/minute)
Accuracy: 93%
Gross Speed: 66 WPM
(words/minute)

:redface:

Net Speed: 88 WPM
(words/minute)
Accuracy: 96%
Gross Speed: 91 WPM
(words/minute)

Eww…you guys are too fast :).

But imagine 15 WPM, that's extremely slow..

-Dunceiam

This proves it, writing code improves your WPM :>

I got like.. 70 =E And I only do some C++ very rarely.
