Blind Quota - 1v1 Hidden Counter Tapping Duel
Blind Quota on FlagDuel is a free 1v1 speed duel: the order names an exact count between 12 and 22, the tap counter hides after your fifth tap so the rest of the count is yours to carry, pressing STOP on exactly the ordered number scores a quota while anything over or under scores nothing, and the first player to land 3 exact quotas wins the round.
The order arrives as a number, somewhere between 12 and 22, and all you have to do is tap that many times and press STOP. The counter above the pad even keeps track for you. It keeps track for five taps.
After the fifth it goes blank and the rest of the quota is yours to carry. There is no partial credit and no near miss here: STOP on the ordered number scores a quota, and one tap over or one tap under scores exactly nothing. A run of 19 that ends on 18 is worth the same as a run that never started.
That makes it an odd sort of speed game. Tapping quickly is easy; tapping quickly while a number climbs somewhere behind your eyes is where the round is decided, because the count is the one thing you cannot go back and check. Three exact quotas takes the round.
How to play

SoonFrequently asked questions
Why does the counter vanish at five instead of straight away?
Because five taps is enough to set a rhythm and nowhere near enough to finish a quota. Hiding the numbers from the first tap would make this a plain counting exercise; leaving them up for five hands you a tempo and then takes the arithmetic away, so the count you carry has something to ride on. Five is also about the point at which most players stop looking at the screen at all.
Is overshooting or undershooting the more common way to miss a quota?
Overshooting, by a distance. The hand keeps its rhythm for a moment after the mind has said stop, so the extra tap arrives before STOP does - and on a fast run it can be two. Undershooting takes a genuine loss of the count; overshooting only takes a finger that was already moving.
Should the last taps before STOP be slowed down?
Yes, and it is the cheapest improvement on offer. The final three or four taps are where the overshoot happens, so easing off as the number approaches costs a fraction of a second and removes the most common way to score nothing at all. The time you save by hammering through to the end is worth far less than one exact quota.
Why is a quota of 22 so much harder than one of 12?
Not because it is ten taps longer, but because it is ten taps longer without a counter. The visible five is a fixed head start, so an order of 12 asks you to carry seven and an order of 22 asks you to carry seventeen - well over twice the blind stretch, on the same rhythm, with somebody tapping beside you.
