I seem to be pretty average. My score was at the high point of the curve - 4.26

I'm relieved it wasn't just me!

Convergence was my favorite.


Yeah, depending on the angle of it, perspective kept kicking in. Made it hard sometimes!

I've been addicted to this too but have been hitting the high 2's at best (when not using a ruler :P) I'm getting better at this eyeballing stuff since my first scores were in the 3-5 range.

2nd attempt.

Holy smokes you guys, those are great scores! I just arrived at work ahead of a 4 to midnight shift, first guy I ran into in the breakroom scored about 5.6 on his first attempt. Hope it doesn't make you nervous to fly heheh.

on a first try... not too shabby.....

i suck at finding the triangle center...LOL

Ok this was an 8th or ninth attempt I think (the first attempt score was 3.4 something).. I really think practice makes teh score better.. and yes.. no rulers used here:-)

5.22...tried it many times and stayed pretty much in the lower 5 area.

Question, just curious...would the slight curve of a CRT monitor affect the way you are seeing these shapes? I might try it next week on my wife's laptop to see if there is any difference.
11/16/2008 06:39:56 AM · #16
Nice one - thanks for link. I'll drive my designers mad with this.
: )

cool game indeed.

3.93, but it's midnight and my eyes aren't working very well...

i've always had a pretty good eye, so was not impressed at my 8 and 6s. however, the .4 was gratifying.
11/15/2008 10:45:11 PM · #18
2.83

I actually got madder the closer I was. *shrug* I also had to look up what a parallelogram was.

Average error: 5.36 (lower is better)

Eh... I got pretty close to most of them but i wasn't good at the triangle center.

How about sharing this with some of your colleagues to see how they do. Just curious. :D


I'll do that. I'm also suspicious that some of those super-low scores are made by means of using rulers and protractors etc, taking the "eyeball" aspect out of it. But I'll see if anyone at work will give it a shot and will report the results for better or for worse.

Oooohhh, never thought of that! Wait... I'm gonna see how much difference it makes... brb!

Lol, I measured everywhere, used straightedge for the angle of convergence one, protractor for the angles....

And got 3.74... wayyyyy worse!

Yup. I wonder how many of the highest scores are from using a ruler. I got a 4.71 on my first try, then pulled out a ruler for the fun of it and got a 2.07 then a 1.52. A good deterrent for the ruler cheat would be to include time in the scoring. It took me much longer by cheating. Oh well, it's all fun & games. :P
