First-aid Friday fun stuff
If your Friday is beginning to feel like a long trudge up a slippy hill with rocks raining down on your head thrown by bureaucratic monkeys from towers, then our our sister site iGizmo could have just the half-time oranges to make the slog a little easier. They’ve got a horribly addictive quiz designed to test the mettle of even the most hardened tech geek.
The aim is simple: identify ten zoomed-in pics of technological bobbins in as short a time as possible. The winner will go on a leader board and be crowned Lord High Geek and brought tithes, tokens and offerings by his subjects. I made the last part up, but the quiz really is marvellous so I recommend you take a look-see.
Just so you’ve got something to aim for, I did it in 13.6 secs, which is to the top ten what Paula Radcliffe is to the Olympic medal positions.
If you’re still rooting around for fun Friday things to do, can I also point you towards our devastatingly good roundup of the top ten greatest Flash games, and Robokill – which is so good I might name my first child after it.
Enjoy your weekend.

Hmm, doesn’t the leaderboard update? I finished in 8.23 seconds and I am not in the top 10, which starts at 10 seconds…

Hey David, I’ve just pinged a message through to find out what the problem is. Congrats on the 8.23 though. It will be recorded for all time here, whatever happens.

This would be great if our web filter didn’t block access to all the links! I’ll just have to continue trudging. I hope I don’t slip, I dread to think what the monkeys would do to me!

@David. According to the tech pixies it was just slow to update, so your score should appear.
@James. You are right to fear the monkeys!

It took me about 45 seconds and I got half of them wrong – beat that!
I hereby relinquish my computer geek status and will be uninstalling Linux tonight in the light of my abysmal score.

Hmm, it looks like somebody has now attacked it with a bot or hacked it…
0.41 seconds :-S

First aid protocols across the USA and Europe seems more uniform these days. It is good to help and save lives!
