Game Over
Your Score:  500
Average reaction time:
Black Armed:648.4ms
Black Unarmed:679.08ms
White Armed:642.96ms
White Unarmed:664.92ms

Interesting. Unlike Mr. Kristof, I was slightly (only 5.04ms) quicker to shoot armed white guys than black guys. However, I was quicker to recognize white guys as unarmed than black guys. So does that mean I'm more suspicious of black guys (I take longer to characterize them as unarmed), but I can quickly determine when someone is armed, regardless of race? At least I beat Mr. Kristof by 29ms for black guys and 52ms for white guys. Thank you, first-person-shooters!
