I tested myself a third time, this time with the pedulum experiment (http://www.fourmilab.ch/rpkp/experiments/pendulum/), with these results:

Final score: 56
3.5 standard deviations
A [result] of this many hits can be expected by chance every 4290 runs.

Thinking that there must be something wrong with the java applet, I ran it again but hid the window and just let it go without watching. This time I got these results:

Final score: -5
0.3125 standard deviations
A [result] of this many hits can be expected by chance every 2 runs.

I got similar (ordinary) results with bell curve applet but the clock test occasionally (more often than expected) gets large negative scores when I don't watch.
