How to use this 10 second time estimation test
Time Estimation asks you to start a hidden timer and stop it as close as possible to the target duration without watching a visible countdown. The game turns internal timing into a simple repeatable personal challenge.
Avoid counting with an external clock, metronome, video, or other timing aid if you want the result to reflect your own internal estimate. Compare attempts within the same difficulty because the target duration changes by mode.
How the score works
Lower absolute timing error is better. A perfect run would stop exactly on the target; the stored result is how far early or late you were.
Questions about this challenge
What is measured in the time estimation test?
The game measures the absolute difference between your stop time and the hidden target duration.
Is the target always 10 seconds?
Standard mode uses 10 seconds. Other difficulty modes use different target durations.
Can I count seconds in my head?
Yes. Internal counting is part of your strategy; the main restriction for a meaningful personal challenge is avoiding external timing aids.
