I had it permanently set on rubbish and just let the good ones through when I managed a good one. (If I remembered to change the direction of the thing away from the bin..... a few good ones got away!)

This one's fun - I've managed to reach 98% but I'm not sure what 'Contra level select code' is.

DropSum
This is rather like Tetris, except that you have to link numbers in chains to clear the grid.
The best bit may actually be the rating at the end, which finds a suitable insult to match your performance...

Well apparently I have the brain of a racoon as well, and the speed of a rather hairy looking seal. Rather more worryingly, it told me that "Your cunning is that of a high-school boy sneaking a peak (sic) in the girl's shower, but your reaction time is like the turning of the tides" :shock:

I rather enjoyed mine - "Your reaction time is that of a shop-window mannequin, but your cunning is that of the window dresser who steals the haute couture feather boa" (or words to that effect.)
