Distance or Time?

I'm hoping to do my experiment before the holidays end. It should take no longer than a day if I can get all 15 males and females over (most likely church friends). I'll also need to get all the teenagers (anyone under 18) to get their parents to write me a note saying that they are allowed to take part in the experiment, or I could write one up and have them sign it. For now i'm going to do some more research on reflex actions and the ruler drop

This experiment is based on the subjects' reaction time, so is this one but it also has a reaction time table to convert your measurement in cm to a reaction time in seconds. This website has a formula that I can use to convert the distance on the ruler to a reaction time. So now i'm thinking that maybe I can use time as one of my variables, hopefully this formula is accurate. What do you think Ms Zhang?
