I've been asked to post this as a bit of fun for everyone.

Its apparently a test used for US Fighter pilots:

If you manage to survive 18 seconds you're doing well :D


US pilots are expected to achieve 2 minutes! :shock:

I managed 10.5 secs after a couple of goes- if the pilots can practice and see where the squares go it should be possible - the trick seems to be to relax and not move unless necessary. I'm sure I could get it up to at least 18 secs if I could be bothered to practice and note the squares moves for the next attempt

Quite right. you get about 5 secs just sitting in top right corner after about 2-3 secs in!

It's a lot easier if you slow your mouse down.
