Are you good at eyeballing?
 
The Eyeballing Game

First time through I got a so-so score of 9.33. 2nd time through I dropped it down to 4.05.

Alex 02-17-2009 05:36 PM

4.97 on first try.

Alex 02-17-2009 05:42 PM

And doing it as fast as I can I get a 4.71.

Betty 02-17-2009 05:42 PM

5.44!

Capt Jack 02-17-2009 05:46 PM

3.75


3.21 the 2nd try.

Ghoulish Delight 02-17-2009 05:46 PM

My first score was hurt by my continued failure to be good at geometric construction. For the "equidistant to all the sides of the triangle" one, I was eyeballing the wrong thing, which really threw my # off. The second time through I got a clue.

Meanwhile, I apparently suck at eyeballing right angles.

Betty 02-17-2009 05:46 PM

4.32

innerSpaceman 02-17-2009 05:50 PM

6.27. i'm a failure!

So - you're good at ballin' just not eyeballin'? :evil: :p

Alex 02-17-2009 05:55 PM

Now to figure out the neurological defect that apparently mandates I peg the center of a circle slightly SE of where it really is.

The others I miss to either side but that one is always just a bit off to the right and down. The parallelogram is consistently the worst for me and I have nailed midpoint and bisect several times each.

Gemini Cricket 02-17-2009 06:03 PM

4.10

innerSpaceman 02-17-2009 06:14 PM

And snowballin', just not eyeballin'. ;)

scaeagles 02-17-2009 06:18 PM

I like this, but I don't seem to get better at it. I've played 5 times and got between 2.87 and 3.12 each time. Not much variance.

Moonliner 02-17-2009 06:42 PM

12.5

However that was primarily due to just the first one where I did not get quite get the concept and was way, way, way, way off.

mousepod 02-17-2009 07:05 PM

quick - sloppy and 8.16. I'm OK with that.

lashbear 02-17-2009 07:13 PM

5.59 first go. I'm best at finding converging angles & Parallelograms.

ToriBear 02-17-2009 07:29 PM

I got 11.79 on the fifth try.

Cadaverous Pallor 02-17-2009 07:32 PM

3.22 first try. I didn't read your responses first so I thought I was doing poorly :)

Drince88 02-17-2009 07:42 PM

4.4 and 4.7 if I discard one point on each test - the first one because I moved the stupid midpoint of hte line so far off of a straightline, it was over 100 off - the second time because I my finger slipped off the mouse thing (I'm on a laptop using the 'pencil' mouse) Not discarding those two points, 9.34 and 5.71.

I usually don't like these sorts of things, but that was a fun one!

lashbear 02-17-2009 07:57 PM

4.82 second time around.

Stan4dSteph 02-17-2009 08:11 PM

3.51

Had to go look that one up. Silly me! :eek: I think I'm going to pass on that myself thanks. I won't say it's bad enough the first time around but combined with my spit phobia? Ultra-yikes. (but whatever rings your bell.)

alphabassettgrrl 02-17-2009 08:31 PM

7.5 first time and 5.4 second time, when I understood the rules. It should probably be a bit better, but the laptop mouse thingie behaved oddly and it went where it shouldn't have and I scored badly on that one bit.

€uroMeinke 02-17-2009 09:01 PM

I got bored and didn't complete the test

BDBopper 02-17-2009 09:04 PM

I got a 38.56 I guess that isn't too bad for a legally blind guy. Actually it is pretty terrible. :(

Funny, those are my best. The bisecting is my weakness.

6.04 initially, then 4.0

Prudence 02-17-2009 09:09 PM

Not sharing the rest of my scores, but I ROCK at convergence.

bewitched 02-17-2009 11:15 PM

4.86 I'm best at bisecting angles (.4 on average) and making right angles (1.7 average)

Alex 02-18-2009 06:25 PM

After several roudns of trying the biggest miss I was able to get was 1615.9.

scaeagles 02-18-2009 07:14 PM

I seem to be best at finding the center of a circle - I've hit it exactly more often than any other catgory. The one that seems like it should be easiest - the parallelogram - is what I seem to do worst at.

Is that a one item score, average score, or total score (not reported by the program)?

Alex 02-18-2009 08:26 PM

Yeah, that was highest on a single miss. You can't really get off by more than a couple hundred on the angle ones.

Moonliner 02-18-2009 09:00 PM

The parallelogram lets you draw off the end of the screen so it's easy to score over 2,000 on that one.

I bet if you have dual monitors you can increase that.

At least on my monitor that still never got up over 1615 but yeah.

Did I mention I use dual monitors?

scaeagles 02-19-2009 07:08 AM

With dual monitors I was able to be 2415 off on a circle center, but that was about as far off as I could get.

blueerica 02-19-2009 09:51 AM

4.03 first try. I should try this again at home, where I will be much less distracted.

It also helps that I have my aspect ratio spot-on.

frodo potter 02-19-2009 10:39 AM

I got 5.01 first time around.
