NMMR: Today's Google Doodle

[raangoli]

You can jump hurdles with today's Olympic Google doodle. This is really going to make my productivity suffer today!

[regencygirl]

I'm sitting here yelling at my computer. I have yet to get the guy to jump, so far he's been walking over them. I'm in last place on the Google Keyboard Olympics. I want GOLD!!

[rosiedozie]

I suck at this game!

[apelila]

I played this morning, SO FUN!

[bliss]

I spent too long playing this last night. LOL. I haven't even attempted at work..................yet.

[raangoli]

It took me a while to get the hang of it, but I feel like hitting the keys too fast is pretty obvious at work.

[aspentosh]

Yeah, that's addictive.

[chia]

I can't even figure out how to play!

[litasail]

I'm terrible at it. My little man has knocked down every single hurdle.

Nor can I

Use the left and right arrow keys to run and the up arrow to jump the hurdle.

Am I pathetic for being excited that this is also on Google India?

[hamster]

Ugh. I got all the hurdles and in 15.6 seconds and I STILL didn't get gold!

[mbcdefg]

How do you get it to start? Every time i click on it it just takes me to a Google results page about the hurdles event.

What? That's crazy! I wonder how fast you have to be?

And that's awesome that it's available in India - I'd be excited, too!

[aspentosh]

I got 12.9 and was still silver. I stopped at that point.

To start you have to click the play icon in one of the O's.

Thanks - I'm not seeing it, though. Maybe my browser is out of date.

ETA: It works for me in Firefox. I was using IE before.

Apparently somebody got a 10.7...that was worth gold. I don't even see how that's possible.

[Deleted]

16 seconds got me a silver. 10 seconds seems unreal!!!

[raangoli]

10.7!! Holy crap!

[WOT?*]

Dayum, I got 19 seconds and was reasonably satisfied.

[Deleted]

My boss just asked me WTF I was doing.... eh, no more Google doodle until she leaves today!

[315bride]

I'm embarrassed to admit how much time I've spent playing around with the doodle. Yowzers.
