How good are you at eyeballing a dimension?
"Ed Pawlowski" wrote in message ... Find out here http://woodgears.ca/eyeball/index.html I did OK on a couple of them and terrible on the rest. Which may explains some measuring errors in the shop. |

... Find out here http://woodgears.ca/eyeball/index.html 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. |

@flpi143.ffdc.sbc.com: Find out here http://woodgears.ca/eyeball/index.html 4.21, but to be honest I thought the game wasn't working properly and restarted about 1/3 of the way through.

Find out herehttp://woodgears.ca/eyeball/index.html 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! R |

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. Sonny |

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

(in article ): Find out here http://woodgears.ca/eyeball/index.html 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. |

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. -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 10/22/08 KarlC@ (the obvious) |
