Eyeball game

[Semper Fidelis]

The eyeballing game

Need to know a bit about geometry to "eyeball" the placement of things. My average wasn't very good (8.94).

 

[BobVigneault]

Cool game, well done. I got a 4.25. Had trouble bisecting an angle. I think it's because I'm not a bisectual (and proud of it.)

 

[Contra_Mundum]

3.57 ; strictly average, but falling over the tip on the "better" side of the bell curve.

I totally didn't do well. My first try was great then I just got impatient. Mine was 18.86

1.87 when I had one stage left. I'll have to go back and finish it.

THAT is the quote of the week.

I hit one right on, two were .1, but the triangle center and parallelogram are NOT for me! Yikes!

You're not human!!! I may have to think about getting ME a plaid skirt.

It helps!

Actually, I've spent my whole life doing carpentry and joinery. And, I come from a long line of carpenters / joiners. I think it develops an eye for line, angle, balance, and space. Plus, I'm sure luck plays a bit in that game.

6.05--clearly I don't have to use this skill much! I did have a couple below one, though!

 

[PresbyDane]

I completly ruined it on the last one I got a 4,36 my father in law got a 3,34.

My father in law wants to know if it helps his chances to get accepted on this board that second time around he got a 1,57 ?

I guess this is a moderator question

 

[Mushroom]

6.13 first try, but had one accidental release... 3.32 second try.

 

[jaybird0827]

After 4 tries, 3.64. I don't want to talk about the other 3.

Nice!

 

[Southern Presbyterian]

3.98 the first time.

 

[ColdSilverMoon]

8.73.

The parallelogram killed me, as did the point of intersection of 3 lines...

2.83

Tried again:

Your inaccuracy by category:
Parallelogram 6.4 3.0 28.2
Midpoint 3.0 2.8 4.1
Bisect angle 7.6 3.1 0.2
Triangle center 9.3 11.4 19.4
Circle center 5.0 6.7 3.0
Right angle 4.4 5.6 0.4
Convergence 6.1 7.6 6.4
Average error: 6.84 (lower is better)

Clearly I don't do triangles well. I don't even get how to figure out the middle. I know I should go closer to the base of the triangle but that's all I've figured out.

7.10

Would have been 4.2, but I misread one of the questions, and found the centre of mass for one of the triangles rather than the point equidistant to the sides, and scored 63.7 for that one.

 

[Herald]

We should all do well with this. Everyone one of us types in a box.

 

[Zenas]

5.04. Got one 0.0 score on one task.

The first time around I mis-clicked on the last set twice and ended up with some grossly inflated score. I have a 3-something until that point.
