And why am I so much better at finding points of convergence than the centre of a triangle?

B

Points of convergence are fairly easy, because you just have to make straight lines. It would be a lot trickier if the blue lines weren't drawn in.

TRiG.

Oooh, just got into the top 10 for the last 500 games

Triangles are the weakest link right enough.

And it took about 5 minutes to fall off the scoreboard. There seems to be a *lot* of people playing this...

My score was so low that I haven't even enetered it as "best on this computer" in case anyone else sees it by mistake

Low scores are good...

B

I got 20.3 for my first effort

I hope you meant 2.03

Better than my 2.16 this morning then.

Nah! Definitely the former.

No doubt, I shall improve with practise

Well I seem to be getting worse

I'm sure you can beat that.

9.53


I'm not complaining about that!

My first run was 4.82, just over the hill.

I wasn't trying too hard though, lessee about my second run...


Gaaahhh.... 4.94

Maybe quicker is better... one more go...

4.58 I nailed one parallelogram though.

I seem to average around 2.8 I'm quite pleased with that, I've no idea how some seem to be capable of getting 0.57 as an average. I suspect cheating

Ahh.... I just got a 2.81. I think I'll stop there.

(OK, I know I won't. )

4.92 seems to be the best I can manage.

And yes, triangles are the biggest problem.

I can hit the low-3s on a regular basis.

I wonder how much this is a function of the monitor one is using.

I've got a lovely 21 inch widescreen jobby (at work ) to do this on and it occurs to me that that is likely to help getting low scores. I'm suspec if I was on my old 15 inch CRT monitor I'd be way out.

It probably is. As well as depending on whether you're using a laptop or a desktop machine... I got a much better score using a desktop machine with a mouse.

Mmmh, 4.64. I'm quite good at bisecting angles apparently (0.8 - 1.1 - 0.9), but funnily enough not that much at finding triangle centres (10.8 - 4.0 - 9.2)
