Challenge 2 Discussion

[Foxy Fox]

Alright, mods said to make a separate thread for discussion. I'm gonna discuss it.

[Foxy Fox]

Ok, so, clock for timing it is fair game.

[Foxy Fox]

I'm going to take my shot early so I have it done. I'm gonna post this to see how much latency there is between when I hit post, and the post actually goes through.

[Foxy Fox]

It appears that there is no latency between the time I hit submit and it actually sends, which is good. I should be able to snipe a ten then. If anyone else feels comfortable in sniping the ten, feel free to join me. Otherwise, the safer option I think is trying to go for one of the ones that are diagonal to the corner and either timing for bullseye, OR, whichever one would land on the corner. Thoughts?

[Madame D.]

I think that if people are confident in their post timing, just going for the higher scores makes sense. I plan on doing some practice before I go just to make sure.

(also nice snipe on the ten)

[Steve Zissou]

I'm using the forum countdown to time my posts and I have gotten 1's consistently for the last 3 minutes

So, what I did - since clocks are allowed:

I'm gonna to assume all of us are on windows 10 for this:
If you search date and time, under related settings "date, time & regional formatting" -> change data formats
You can set it so when you click on the clock, it shows you seconds.

Another useful thing to remember - the time it takes you to say "one second" is one second. What I did, since I felt confident in my timing was pulled up the clock so it showed seconds, waited until xx:xx:x0 and then said one second, and hit submit.

[Foxy Fox]

I should've gone for the 15 as well, that's my bad.

[Madame D.]

The best time for me to do this will be a couple of hours before deadline, so that's my plan at this point!

This was basically what I did.  I posted a bit in my confessional to see if latency was an issue and once I had a good feeling for it I challenged my self to hit specific numbers.  Once I did that a few times and got a good feeling I went for it.  My mistake was pausing for like half a second before I hit post (which I had never done before)
