royallypwned Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Moore, with a speedy and accurate performance, beat out 20 other finalists from around the country over two days of challenges such as texting blindfolded and texting while maneuvering through a moving obstacle course.In the final showdown, she outtexted 14-year-old Morgan Dynda, of Savannah, Ga. Both girls had to text three lengthy phrases without making any mistakes on the required abbreviations, capitalization or punctuation. Moore squeaked through by a few seconds on the tiebreaking text, getting the best two out of three. As she anxiously waited for confirmation of her win, tears streamed down her face. :rotflmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonOfWashington Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 14,000 texts a month? That's about one text every three minutes, 24 hours a day in a 30 day month. Or: "In between, she finds time to send about 400 to 470 texts a day. Among her uses of the text messages? Studying for exams with friends, which she says is better done by text because she can look back at the messages to review." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you sleep 8 hours a night and are up 16 hours through the day, then its about 2 texts a min. And you know its easy to send more than 2 texts in a minute, especially for a young girl like that.

So that TPM rate goes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubbs Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I defy any ES member to out-text me on a straight ABC system, because I have the fastest thumbs in all the land. Yes, I specialize in uber-nerdy challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toe Jam Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I use about 300 texts per day and not for nonsense reasons, either. She won 50,000 bucks so those of you calling her stupid might want to double check your opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbleedBnG83 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 i still won't let me kids text at the table. And for that matter, I won't buy a cell phone for my kid until they are at least 16. And once they turn 18, they just bought themselves a new bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxBuddy21 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Well I agree that she is not stupid for winning $50,000 and at least she is communicating with the outside world rather than sitting in her room alone playing video games. She clearly has a lot of friends and has been socializing. Thats something at least. Good luck with the arthritis when she gets older though!

TGI Jef Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 outrageous. just did some quick math - that is one text every 191 seconds of the month. if she sleeps an average of 7 hours, its a text every 125 seconds she is awake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
