Eyeball it!

I scored 4.11 on my first attempt, largely due to my eyesight being crap. Am expecting better from the better-eyed mathsies on the forum.

Re: Eyeball it!
I'm not convinced this is much of a sight test, since I got 4.10 and I almost certainly have worse eyesight than you. And I've been drinking.Ben Wilson wrote:http://woodgears.ca/eyeball/index.html

Re: Eyeball it!
Quite fun, I got 3.02 on the first attempt. Will have a few more goes and see whether I can get down to 2.5 or so.

Re: Eyeball it!
hmmmm. 7.99.
I think score should be divided by age. I'll have another go when I'm more awake; only my left eye is open so far. Nice find, Ben

Re: Eyeball it!
Cheers for the link Ben. After first two attempts around 4.2 I managed 3.31 but I'm sure I can better it. The 2 categories which seem to let me down are right angles and parallelograms.

Re: Eyeball it!
6.49 on first attempt, that explains why nothing I put up in the house is level or sqaure, also why my snooker is so appalling and proves my putting is pure luck!
I thought I was good at Countdown until I joined this forum

Re: Eyeball it!
3.98 on second go, and that included 0.1 on right angles, and 0.0 on parallelograms.
Wearing my glasses helped.

Re: Eyeball it!
3.95 on first attempt, Charlie's 3.02 is pretty impressive.

2.30
But that did include a score of 11.4 on the first triangle. Oops.

Re: Eyeball it!
Yeah, I'm pretty good all round, then get like 16s and 8s on the centre of the triangle. I hate that one. Makes my average score in the 4.xx region (despite getting a 0.0 on the midpoint of a line).

Re: Eyeball it!
I got 5.2, default aspect ratio of my display made right angles look wrong.
Will try again when I've altered it.

Just had 2.67, including one 0.0 on a convergence one. Also managed 612.93 on a slightly less serious attempt.

Re: Eyeball it!
I had a quick go and got 8.75. The convergence of the line and the triangle were the hardest ones for me.

Re: Eyeball it!
Aye, I got 5.05 first go, but then adjusted the monitor to its native resolution (it's new) and got a 2.94. It made a big difference to the right angles and parallelograms, which had definitely looked wrong before.Peter Mabey wrote:I got 5.2, default aspect ratio of my display made right angles look wrong.

I got 3.77. Very inconsistent. I can't do the triangle one at all, getting 6.4 as my best - on the all the others I had a best of 2.0 or better.

Re: Eyeball it!
Hmm I managed 5.xx, but suck at triangles! Will glasses make a difference to short-sightedness? Time will tell!

Re: Eyeball it!
3.95
Got a few 1.0s and a 0.5 but then mucked it up with some way out ones.
