How good are you at eyeballin' it, can you judge a right angle without your Starrett square, find the center of a circle, or make two lines perfectly parallel????
Give it a try, you might be more accurate than you think.

BTW, 6.56 on my first run through, with a .1 accuracy on right angles all three times

Have fun!

Dave

Got an 8.46. Right angles are harder to judge when the aren't plumb & level. Good challenging test. I'll try it again later, too! Thanks, Dave.

6.12 first run through!

I might be able to do better when I haven't been staring at a PC monitor for 12.5 hrs.

For those who didn't realize, you can drag and drop the box, instead of just clicking once . I tried a couple more times once I realized that and got a 3.77.

3.34 for me. I guess I don't need to see the eye doc for a new prescription yet.
