heh..

I got a 3.89 on my 2nd try. Got a bunch of 0.0s. My worse it the Triangle equidistant one.

Am I doin it right?

Convergence kicks my ass:

Tea on tuesday · 10-23-2008, 04:47 PM

I'd really be interested to know why people perform much better on some tasks than others, and why those are very different.

I'm terrible at this. I played it 6 or 7 times and never got better than a low 5 or so, but I can always nail convergence within 2 units, and usually around 0.

Northerner · 10-23-2008, 04:58 PM

Yeah, different brains focus on different things and all. I found midpoint and convergence simple but equidistant on the triangles was hell. I also tend to get lazy on the parallelograms and midpoint circles and miss by a few just from "good enough" syndrome.

It would be much easier if they left out the bounding box itself!

Agreed, it is interesting to see what some people are good at and bad at. Midpoint is probably my worst and convergence is easiest for me.

Goliath · 10-23-2008, 06:17 PM

I get consistent 0.0's on the first two and then I suck.

Dinthug · 10-23-2008, 09:05 PM

Depending on the shape and the angle it's tilted at, the only ones I really have trouble with are the parallelogram and convergence... triangle center sometimes gave me a problem. Rarely ever get more than 2 on bisecting the angle, right angle or midpoint. I've nailed perfect 0s on the circle the most, probably most consistent on bisecting angle and the right angle though.

Dr. Funkenstein · 10-23-2008, 11:37 PM

3.04 on first run through. 2.31 on second. No 0.0s, but lots of sub 1s. Consistently 5+ on the parallelogram

Northerner · 10-24-2008, 04:42 AM

I've discovered that drinking does not make me better at this. Weird shit!

Tortfeasor · 10-24-2008, 07:24 PM

Parallelogram fucks me up hard.

Also, is anyone else incredibly inconsistent on right angles? My scores are like 4,2,18,9,2,7,30,5

I do the best on center of the circles. Always below 1 with a few 0.0's

I average in the 4's overall.

Antoine · 10-24-2008, 08:15 PM

got 4.87 and 3.10 the 2nd time around. I'm REALLY bad at the circle

The Ancient · 10-24-2008, 09:02 PM

I can't break 4.0. I'm pretty good at parrellelogram, but horrible at triangle center.

EmpireF4i · 10-24-2008, 11:05 PM

Haha, I was trying to screw up and got a 0.0
