How good are you at eyeballing a dimension?

well, first time through I misunderstood the mid point section - I thought it
meant equal vertices, not a bisected straight line - THAT bit got me a 38.1

Duh!!!

In spite of that, my average was 5.05 - next time the midpoint was 1.0. the
third time 0.0

average for third column was 2.9, so I'm quite confident I'm vindicated
(professional artist)

I'm a noobie woodworker though, and get totally befuddled by measuring...
took me a while to understand the "one reference face/edge" concept.

4.21, but to be honest I thought the game wasn't working properly and
restarted about 1/3 of the way through. (I have a rather picky filter that
doesn't always allow this kind of thing to work correctly.)

I did OK on a couple of them and terrible on the rest.

Which may explains some measuring errors in the shop.

That was fun. 6.86 average, which would have been much higher if I hadn't
scored 0.0 by chance on the circle center test.

Composite 3.71 - My parallelogram scores were 7.2, 14._, & 15._
Otherwise, I did pretty good with most individual scores in the 1 to 2
range.

First attempt on the parallelogram indicated that I was _not_ supposed
to be thinking perspectivally! Too much time with SketchUp. I quit
the first test after that first atrocious answer, and completed the
test with a 3.11

I'm going to try that test next time without my glasses...I hope I can
find my mouse! ;)

Fared better than me, for sure. Best I've averaged is 4.3 ... but I tend to
lose interest real quick and rush the last two or three. That said, I don't
usually need a tape/ruler for eyeballing linear measurements under 1" ...
that, and $3.95, will usually get me an SB café mocha, most of the time.

Scored 3.78

Also confirmed what I already knew from eyeballing midpoints for biscuit
joinery, which is that I suck at eyeballing midpoints.

4.62 for me. Would have been worse, except I seem to have a good eye for
right angles and convergence.

2.73 in three tries - the parallellogram gets me every time.

3.53 but I think my mouse was the limiting factor as it twitches a bit.

Wow, I guess I did okay with a 3.61 avg. the first time. I blew up on
the right angle with an 8.2, though. NOT a good sign!

I averaged 4.6 overall however i don't trust eyeballing and don't
trust my tape measure the first 2 times.

5.19 units. Guess that means I can spot the difference between 1 foot
and 1 inch more than half the time.
