Paper plane throwing...
I had a quick search and drew a blank so hopefully this is the first time this one has appeared...
(bet that statement is categorically wrong)

My best, 56.447m
Annoying as hell when you get out of the window (eventually) and hit the side of the chimney.

Fantastic! Good at releiving stress, until you get even more stressed playing it
A few attempts, once out the window at 37.763m.. Now giving up before I get angry with my optical mouse for being worse than a ball one...

What's a mouse ? (Laptops come with a touch-pad, which doesn't work like a mouse.)

Just out of curiosity, are the attempts being made with optical or ball mouse? (can't be bothered to figure out the plural of computer mouse) Mine is optical, the amount of times it gives it a faffy almost non existant send off is unbelievable, I think my worst has been 0.467m

Jimmy, getting the same problem with my optical. Often seems to stop before it goes across the launch line...

Mine's optical. I let go of the button just before the automatic launch line.

Are we allowing opticals in our olympics? I think we should have a committee meeting.

102.206 and two loops, one right outside the window, the other over the chimney. Yeah, baby! Logitech optical trackball. I can't work a regular mouse if my life depended on it.
