I feel this way about most things.

I was literally struggling to answer 2 * ? = ¾ when being watched.

...I didn't have to work this out manually at all.

I feel the same way. That's why I'd like to be able to make myself invisible.

Somehow the variable being a question mark instead of an x completely throws me off

Does anyone else find "speed coding" and X-day code competitions weird? Like I'm sure they do the same for painting, short story writing, and other creative things, but the point of all these is to have fun while doing it, not arbitrarily put yourself under pressure.

I've never got the appeal of that sort of thing either.

I kinda get it with "soft" targets (e.g. Let's see what we can do in a day/weekend). "Hard" targets (you gotta do x in x Minutes) pretty much guarantee I'll get nothing good done.

Yes, I hated every coding exam I've been in.
