FAQ

What is this?

A very silly timing-based game. Click one of the buttons from each row, then do what it says, then click "submit guess" to see how close you were.

How is my score calculated?

First, the ratio of the smaller of your answer and the correct answer to the larger one is computed; e.g. if your answer is twice the correct answer or half the correct answer, the ratio is 1/2. Then, this number is multiplied by 10000 for fun. (This is the same as taking 10000e^-|d|, where d is the difference in log space between your answer and the correct answer.)

What range can the answers be in?

For the "hold" versions, the duration will be at least 0.1 seconds and at most 5 seconds. For the "beat" versions, the BPM will be at least 30 and at most 300. The distribution is random within these ranges, but not uniform.

How is my BPM calculated?

It's kind of complicated, but it's based on your last 7 taps (so you have to tap at least 7 times to get a submittable guess). Only the time you press the button matters; the time you release it does not. If you wait a while with the "submit guess" button enabled, the button will start flashing at the tempo the program calculated for your tapping. If the "submit guess" button isn't becoming enabled, you're probably not tapping steadily enough.

Why is it called temple? I don't see any houses of worship.

You know how all the wordle variants are called whatever-le? It's like that, except with "temp-", as in tempo/time.

Why are you presenting this as a wordle variant? Isn't it obviously not one????

Yes.
