What's Your Olympic Google Doodle Score?

Can you beat Patch editor's score of 13.5 seconds?! Upload your final (and hopefully best) score! Share how you did and win bragging rights!

OK, maybe we're in Apple territory, but we can enjoy our crosstown friends at Google because for the last several weeks, the Google search homepage has had Olympic fever.

From a javelin thrower to a fencer, and a synchronized swim team the Mountain View-based company has sought to honor Olympians and their achievements with creative Google Doodles.

This Monday, however, the Google Doodle got playful and competitive.

After the animated hurdler gets into position, the user can press play. This begins to move the hurdler and it's the user's job to help him jump. Sounds easy? Think again!

For Tuesday's Doodle, the user helps a basketball player shoot hoops. Again, looks easy, but the user has to successfully shoot balls in the basket against a shot clock.

Try it! And then grab a screenshot of your score (if you can) and upload it to Mountain View Patch. Then add your name in the caption. If not, add your score in the comments section below.

Let's see who in Cupertino has the best score!

It's difficult to know what's going on in a kid's mind unless they feel confident enough to open upRead More and talk. And this program helps us adults to learn to listen differently.

I too was at this Challenge Day. It was my 6th. I first volunteered because I watched the programRead More on MTV "If You Really Knew Me" when my son was being severely bullied in middle school and saw the program was offered when he was a freshman in high school. My company strongly supports me volunteering for this and allows me to take the day off work to attend. I am continually humbled by what these teens share and saddened at what some of them have experienced in their short lives. This program is so valuable. I think every school should offer it and every parent should attend. It helps us to realize that we need to think twice before we judge or assume things about others when we know nothing about them. It is the volunteering opportunity that I look forward to participating in every year.
