 * THE STUDY OF STARING ABILITY WITH DIFFERENT VARIABLES**


 * ABSTRACT**

The purpose of this experiment was to find out what variables affect staring ability. Light enters the eye and goes into receptors on the retina. The color receiving cells work best in the light and black and white cells work best in the dark. Volunteers stared at a focus point while doing an activity that is the variable as they were timed. Distracting variables cause shorter stares, and variables that cause watery eyes made better stares. This is because eyes need liquid, so watery eyes do the same thing as blinking, so there is no the urge to blink.


 * CONCLUSION**

Through the experiments it was learned that staring time can vary around different variables. Variables that cause watery eyes or relief from staring, like salty tastes, can improve staring time. Variables like being upside down can cause distractions that can shorten the time of the stare. This information is important to the world because it shows how to easily win in a staring contest. The hypothesis that sugary water would increase the stare time from the control was wrong. The salty and sour water improved the time while the sweet water distracted the volunteers. Experiments about other variables, like hearing different sounds and doing other activities, should be tested.
