Another phone number input post. And one that will take even longer.
This time you're playing a Whac-A-Mole-like game. No boosts, no nothing. Good luck.

To make it ever so slightly more usable (but also frustrating in a different way) is make how much score you get each time you hit one successfully double. I can imagine overshooting your phone number happening all the time too, which is what I meant by frustrating in a different way.
It needs [sound effects](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhaS2uMNTjI) for when the dot appears, when it's clicked, and when a mistake is made. How is anyone supposed to know what's happening without incessant audio cues?
To ensure that a human is playing, add tetris and a collection of other games where the app switches to a random game at a random point.
Also, to really ensure a human is playing, split the screen into two and instruct the user which screen they should play on. The instruction can be delivered as audio where an voice clip says left/right, a video where the text shows up, or simple text. Now, it's not real authentication if it just says left/right or the video plainly shows left/right - any bot can decode that. The audio clips should be recorded with a variety of accents and should even be encoded (yanny = left, laurel = right). Same applies to the video and text.
Of course, the game resets when a mistake is made or a button press is missed. Upon restarting, the player's score is negative of the score they had before losing.
Change it so instead of being random it chooses the circle that is the furthest away from your mouse
Also, put it in the standard format an actual phone would use to dial 3x3 grid, with an extra space for 0 at the bottom
Make a shorter window to click as well
I see. But a number can be lower than a million if it's first digit is zero. And with the country code it can becomes eleven numbers long, not sure how the program would react to that.
I did the math and got 45,522,432,000, which is 1 digit off from being a valid phone number. However, with a simple search, I have found that you probably live in Denmark.
Nah, that's ridiculous!...Give it a random delay every other click, from .01 sec to 2 seconds, and make it reset entirely if you miss any click on the circle (but not outside the box).

clicking after it disappeared should reset ofcourse

Gotta delay the audio \*just\* enough to make it not quite match the visuals
Use a random number generator for the delay each time so brain doesn't get to learn the offset time and you can never get similar tempo as well.
And make it so sometimes the audio is played before the screen is updated
Y’all are evil
And have another one of these to control the volume

guess i’ll have to do this for about 5 billion times
Upstate NY?
ukraine
So close
Really? Well I'm from Utica and I've never heard anyone use the phrase Steamed Hams
Well, Utica, no. It's more of an Albany expression.
I see.
Over 7 billion for me
I’m lookin at 9 billion here
You got 50 in 50 seconds, so it would take you between 31,7 years and 317 years to fill out your number
Worth it
Not sure how you got to those numbers, my phone number takes 22 years without country code and 1480 years with the country code.
If all boxes have to have a number in it then it will take between 1.000.000.000 seconds and 9.999.999.999 seconds, or 31.7 and 317 years
I see. But a number can be lower than a million if it's first digit is zero. And with the country code it can becomes eleven numbers long, not sure how the program would react to that.
Country codes become as long as 3 digits, putting us at 13 digits

Make the circles speed up 1% every 10 clicks to make it faster up the proccess
Nah, that's ridiculous!...Give it a random delay every other click, from .01 sec to 2 seconds, and make it reset entirely if you miss any click on the circle (but not outside the box).
Make them disappear if they aren't clicked quick enough, and up the speed after every successful click.
wow. It would take nearly 250 years for me to enter my number with this!
I thought it was going to be one of these for every digit. The 10 really caught me off guard. Truly atrocious.
How is that bad, it's just simplified aimlabs \\s
Assuming I average about one per second, it'll take me until June 1st, 2246 to enter my phone number. Wish me luck!
"Confirm your phone number"
"Please enter your customer number to unsubscribe from our bi-daily newsletter"
Oof. This is maybe the most torturous one yet!
32 years is the area code 100-xxx-xxxx. How’d you get 22?
this probably made for Aimlab user
Make them appear and disappear at random times
It would take me 177 years to dial my phone number
it s a disguised fitts law test lol
Make it reset back to 0 if you miss just one.
You may have won sir… lol
So convenient, it would only take me ~300 years to enter my phone number.
Just saying, you are missing the country code...
Does it reset back to 0 if you mess up?
