The 1st (and probably last) Annual IW 'Hold Your Breath' Competition

Staralfur · 04-25-2002, 05:48 PM

There's no point denying it; this is pointless, but is quite fun anyway.

The idea is you hold down the '.' key while holding your breath, releasing once you have breathed out. The person with the longest line of .'s wins - easy eh

The rules;

[1]Only the '.' my be used, and other character will result in disquailification.
[2]Competitors may not adjust the repeat rate of their keyboard.
[3]Competitors may not key tap.
[4]Cutting and pasting is strictly prohibited, and will result in a lifetime ban from this sort of thingymajig.
[5]Only one entry per competitor.
[6]I might add some as we go along.

The winner recieves a small packet of smarties, and free resusitation.

My entry;

.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .............................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .............................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .............................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .............................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .............................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .............................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .............................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .............................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .............................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .............................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .............................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .............................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .............................. .................................................. .................................................. ................................................
