This is for all of the frustrated engineers out there.

There always seems to be a guy or gal who can look at something and tell you that a line or an angle is off. Now you can try your skill at using 'the eye'. This is tougher than it looks.

It is not timed so you can take your time.

It is fun to test your eyeball estimation of geometrical accuracy.

(My best score is 3.32...the lower, the better.)

First attempt: 3.52

Bisecting angles and line midpoints were my best - always under 1.0.

ok so an engineer looks at that and wonders what aspect ratio it was calibrated for?

that and what monitor size are you running on?
the figure is awfully small on a 24" 1920 X1200 monitor.
