GrrlScientist is an evolutionary biologist, ornithologist, aviculturist, birder and freelance science and nature writer. A native of the Pacific Northwest, she relocated from Seattle to NYC with her parrots after earning a BS in Microbiology (emphasis in Virology) and PhD in Zoology (Ornithology) from the University of Washington. In NYC, she was the Chapman Postdoctoral Fellow at the American Museum of Natural History for two years, pursuing part of her "dream" research project by reconstructing a molecular phylogeny of the parrots of the South Pacific islands. GrrlScientist and her five parrots are currently relocating to Germany, where she will continue writing her blog while also writing a book and learning German. (Meanwhile, her parrots will continue to nibble on her extensive personal library.) If you appreciate GrrlScientist's writing, you can help pay her living expenses by hiring her to "blog" your conference, speak at your club or write articles for your publication (or by clicking on the Paypal button below).

Okay, after I finished writing that last piece of breaking science news, I am ready to relax with some thought-free fun and games for a little while. How about going out to a restaurant for something to eat? Oh, living in NYC as I do, I forgot that some people have to drive a car instead of hopping onto the subway. Of course, driving a car means that you have to park the danged thang, which can pose a problem in and of itself.
Can you park a car without crashing it? This little test might interest you; it's a test that gives you 60 seconds to park that little yellow car in the highlighted space. As you will see when you play the game, there are plenty of things to crash into. OOPS!

the difficulty is not the parking, its parking with directional buttons...

The hardest part is translating the left and right arrows when the car is pointed down. I.e., left is right, and right is left.
Still, 42 seconds, first try. It's not that hard, especially with the "brake hard" button.
