3.11 on my first try...without my glasses (not that it should matter, since I'm nearsighted) :>

I guess I can't blame all my mistakes on my eyesight

This is the reason nothing I make is square Without glasses like 30.9 with glasses 3.1. I really hate wearing my specs but this test has convinced me my ear doctor was right...

Note to self: A parallelogram is not the same as a trapezoid. Definitely not the same. Other than that, my scores were decent.

Pretty much the same results for me (including the stoopid part) I was surprised at my relative accuracy though, usually when I eyeball a layout and double check it I am off by several miles

3.97 for me, but I thought it was interesting that some skills were harder than others. I found the circle center the hardest (average 8.03) and right angle the easiest (avg 0.97).

5.72 the 1st time-the point equadistant from the triangle sides really got me.

Not bad for someone who's never seen a right angle in any of my projects

Finally , something I am good at !! I kicked all of ya'lls butts with a 12.77 !! Well except for Jeff with his 30.9

actually I didn't do too badly considering I have no idea what a par-a-llel-a-what-sis is , even after the pooter showed me 3 times
