Just found this game that tests how good you are at eyeballing stuff.

I bet you'll get a kick out of it, especially because I find that I'm using my "calibrated eye" quite a bit in the shop.

enjoy!

Whats your best score?
I've played a few games and have topped at 4.4.
Maybe if I had a little more patience I could do better.

Work in a machine shop long enough and your eyeballs get calibrated.

On the "bisect the angle" part, you can be off by 180 degrees and still be right.

3.33 after a couple of tries, I could do better if I was more consistent.

We had a small team competition with this game earlier this year. I got down to 1.61 and since then I have to do all the eyeballing around the workshop.

The point equidistant from triangle sides is a real bummer. Ruins my score :-(

3.8 in first attempt. It says I'm average I'm sure it is above.

But bare in mind I do not see a non-engineering fellow playing this game too seriously

i've hovered right around 4.8.

right angles are definitely my best, convergence and line bisecting is the worst.

i guess thats what i get for freehanding curves and edges on aluminum brackets on the belt sander in highschool

2.01 on first attempt, including a 0.1 on right angle, 0.7 on midpoint, 0.8 on bisect angle. Has me as the third highest of the last 500 games!

I think this will be a new shop favorite...
