Good for you! 1:15 is my best now. Ridiculous addiction, I agree, but a very nice, quick break to clear the mental cobwebs.

1:00 and 269th place. Now I officially quit this ridiculous addiction for a mother of a 3-month-old . . .

Go, Jon! Video game experience helps! My best has been 1:25 for a while now.

So far everyone has been having a blast with this -- except for the two it was intended for. :) Well, *I* think it's more fun than atomic tanks....

It took me a while to figure out what was going on. But, yes, reading the directions helped somewhat, although a number of the words didn't translate using freetranslation.com.

I don't know how the top score guy got under a minute. I can get 1:11 repeatedly, and as far as I can tell, I'm not making any mistakes, and it doesn't seem to matter how I vary my routine.

"Game over" usually comes quickly for me, too. It seems to give me more time if I'm making progress, so maybe it stops you if the fire gets too much out of control.

Comment moderation may be annoying, but I'm almost frustrated enough to go for it.

I thought my second try was 1:42 but then it took me a long time to get to 1:34 so I wonder if I misread my first time or if I just got lucky.

It definitely makes the flow weird having to moderate comments - Jon is working on making it so previously "yes" people can automatically post comments.

After about four tries, I got 2:22. Noah wanted to play himself but we had to do something else. I'll let him try some other time. I am amazed it let you try for four minutes. It seemed to me "Game Over" came quicker than that if I didn't get the fire out.

If it didn't have little green circles where you could put the hoses I think I would have given up entirely.

You mean you didn't read them? ;-)

2:49. Good enough to inspire me to get back to real work.

It took me 4 minutes and 10 seconds, but I finally managed to put out the fire.

I'm enjoying the Swissfire game, though I'm still at the stage of trying to figure out the rules by the seat of my pants.

Swissfire is also the name of the Swiss Firefighters' Association and a little game the boys might like called Swissfire.

I saw on Bloglines that there was another Daley Ponderings post, and I thought to myself, "I hope it is a 'pocket notes'," and it was. They are my favorite posts of all time, and this one didn't disappoint. Thanks for doing them.
