I would probably pound frantically on the keyboard trying to hit the right key during some unknown, short interval. If there were no interval at all and the right solution were to be holding a key at the right moment, then I'd probably have about a 50% chance of not pressing any key at that moment. And after I happened to press the right key at the right moment I still wouldn't know which of the keys I pressed was the right one, so I'd have to pound frantically the next time too. After a few iterations I'd also be cursing the idiots who designed such an unfriendly user interface just because they didn't want any text on the screen. Björn Persson
