Here is a fun game to play.

[DalesCarpentry]

Here is a fun game to play. It is called eyeballing. I played it twice and my best score was 8.52. I think I have a slight advantage though because I am a carpenter and have to eyeball things everyday. Let me know how you score. Dale

Here is my best yet. It is a 3.56  Dale

Dale,

4.75 on my 1st attempt. would have scored much better had my finger not slipped while dissecting a line and scored a 27.3 on that one test.

p.s.; I'm a finish carpenter.

Then you know what I mean by having to eyeball something everyday. Dale

Yup. They need to add a couple of test. level or plumb straight lines. 

[DalesCarpentry]

Yea that would be cool. Things like that jump out at me. The one where you had to make a 90 degree angle, I nailed it many times at less .04 and one time at .01 Dale

[Brett]

Game 2.   I actually scored better on most of them in my first game with a couple under 1.0 and hitting one of the right angles dead nuts.  That one midpoint flub killed my overall score.  Will have to try again when I'm not so tiered.

That is a great score. It is fun huh? Dale

Yeah I did that too.  3.70 on my first one with a slip that resulted in a 24.7, tried again and ended up with 2.73, just barely out of the top scores of the last 500.  The right angle is by far my worst one.

[DalesCarpentry]

My worst is the circle in the triangle. I can't seem to get it right. Dale

I'll make you all feel better about yourselves, 5.21. The parallelogram kills my score every time.

That one is tough too. Dale

[Brett]

Bubba, 2.73!  You have got a good eye.

[DalesCarpentry]

Bubba, 2.73!  You have got a good eye.

I agree. Dale

[Heather]

I will not disclose my score, but say that this is definitely not my strongest area.

[Brett]

Okay, Game 3 after some shut eye.  Not bad but still not up to Bubba's standards.

Apparently I cant find a point of convergence to save my ass.  Oh well.  Just look at the Bisect angle scores.

[Matt]

here is my 2

[GRIMJIM]

I got a 4.2 on my first try but my finger slipped too and I got a 13. something on one of them.

Oh yeah I'm a carpenter too.

[Heather]

LOL!  I thought my 1st score sucked.  It was a 2.something and I didn't pay attention to the lower is better!  I haven't been able to duplicate that score, but this is my second best.  Finger miss clicked  on that third parallelogram.

[DalesCarpentry]

Yea I would say that is pretty good. It ties my best score. Dale

[mirage1988]

4.23 on my second attempt after a ten hour (night) shift & a couple beers. Think ill try that one again in the mornin-lol

[gstewart44]

I guess I can't get the circle in the triangle too well....but I can bisect angles!
