Weird. First column, I got 1.08, with my worst score being a 3.0 and my best a 0. Second column, I start going way the hell off. :( Then I recover a bit towards the end.

Am #10 in the last 500 right now, with a score of 2.87, for the next few minutes I suppose.

8.04


Been up and out all day. Also, Phillies World Series game, so I think I did pretty well.

Also, are you guys just eyeballing it, or doing actual measurements and stuff? I've gotten close to 0, but no actual zero.

Was eyeballing it. I assume if you cheat you could get very close to zero often.

Convergance, right angle, bisect, and midpoint you should be able to get close to 0.0 pretty often if you have good eyesight. The others are tougher because you have to consider several measurements at once.

My eyesight is fine....20/17 and 20/20.

I guess I was just doing it wrong. Or my monitor sucks? I dunno.

Be sure you are running your LCD monitor at native res. Otherwise, everything will be distorted anyhow.

No, it's flat.I think I did it wrong to begin with....

I hated trig/geometry anyway.

EDIT: Got it down to 5.33 on a second try. I think I wing it too much.

Um, you're supposed to "wing it" I think.  That's the point.

has nothing to do with this type of test.  Its a test of judgement moreso then quality of occular vision.

Bad astigmatism could affect it I reckon, but only if it was uncorrected.

Third go got me 2.82. Second parallelogram gave me 12.4 other wise might have been half decent.

I'm going to escape, come back, wipe this place off the face of the Earth, obliterate it and you with it.

I formed a trapezoid instead of a parallelogram on the first question.  awesome, for real
