Who's got the Perfect Rhythm?

mine is in the mid 700's
I know my playing is in the pocket so I am not sure how much this matters.
The first time I took this "test" was at night when I was tired. I was averaging in the mid 700s (around ten tries). The next morning I repeated the exercise and was averaging in the high 800s. Tried it again a few days later and got mostly high 800s with several in the 900s (with a high score of something like 960). Humans: none of us have perfect time. :D
 
Cool little game. Bit of a learning curve vs maybe warm-up effect? I went from low 800s to low 900s over about 20 attempts. I find that I have to warm up for a bit when playing my bass before I feel really comfortable in the groove. Noticed the same thing here. Seemed to do about the same with the mouse key vs spacebar vs a regular key.
 
I scored 100 without actually listening to the beat. Volume turned off at work.

I think the beat is slightly ahead of but at approximately the same speed as the numbers on the screen when it does various countdowns. Can anyone confirm?

185 the second time using that theory.

and 437 the third time.

I think somebody completely deaf could eventually ace this through trial and error.
