I thought of this idea to test some parts of the IQ of a person. Looking for willing participants

It's repeatable and the complexity is tweakable which is very good.

The idea is very simple, 10 random numbers will be posted. It will only be addition and subtraction. The numbers will only be 2 digits long at most.

You can only use your head to calculate the answer and must time how long it took you and what your answer is. Regardless whether you got the answer right or wrong once you reach your final decision the timer should stop.
I want to get at least three rounds but on different days.

I want to post them here but receive the responses via PM since I dont want people to get pressured based on other times.

Any volunteers?

I'm going to wait until the end of the day to see how many volunteers I get.

I don’t think people should post the answers outright or it’ll give it away for other people. What I’d suggest is if people post that they got the correct number or they got +1, -7, +9 etc.

Yes definitely don't post the times or the answers.

11 people is good enough for me.
Remember the rules. No writing it down or calculators. No posting the answer or your times. Please pm your answer and times to me.
It's all addition.
I'm specifically keeping it on one long line

Quiz #1
60 + 84 + 81 + 10 + 72 + 80 + 16 + 71 + 86 + 26

I didn’t attempt to check my math.

Hey you didn't follow the rules

No posting your answer, the answer, or times.

Please delete your message if possible.

But once you're at it I realized I'm not sure if I should stress speed or getting the correct answer
