Yahoo! user djdnjdn posed a very intriguing question that sheds light into the mind of a teenager: "Which is harder... Playing Flappy Bird or driving a car?" Obviously, we found this very profound.

"I can't get past 10 on flappy bird and I just got my learners permit to drive a car," explained djdnjdn in a post on Yahoo! Answers. "If I suck at flappy bird how am I supposed to be good a driving a car in real life? I feel like if I can't even play a stupid little app game I would do terrible driving on the road. Is driving easier than playing flappy bird?"

How can a video game that is made for the mobile phone challenge us in ways comparable to operating a 3,000 pound machine known to cause thousands of fatalities every year? It may seem like an absurd comparison at first, but here's a little background on Flappy Bird. The objective of the mobile game is very simple-- you must guide a bird through a series of gaps between pipes by flapping its wings via tapping on your smartphone or tablet's touchscreen. If you tap too little, the bird will fall. If you tap too much, the bird will become jerky and uncontrollable.

The key to a high score on Flappy Bird requires two sets of skills. First, the player must possess a great amount of patience. Second, high motoring skills and coordination are essential to mastering Flappy Bird. Coincidentally, patience and solid hand-eye coordination are what makes a good driver behind the wheel as well.

Here's what many helpful fellow Yahoo! users had to say about djdnjdn's question:

Blasian edited 1 day ago I got a 74 on it. Once I get up to 100 I'm done playing that game. The game is really simple but people make it seem so hard, you just have to have the right timing.

So there you have it! Census says Flappy Bird is indeed more difficult than driving a car.

Curious about downloading the game? Too late. Flappy Bird developer Dong Nguyen has removed the game from the market during the height of its popularity. Rumors claim Nguyen made the decision due to legal reasons. Other sources claim Nguyen couldn't bear with the criticism from the game's user, which are mostly negative and extremely angry.
