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.

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.

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.

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.
