I can't get past 3.33

Click on the picture for the "game".

[Big-C]

I thought I was awesome until I saw my score of 6.38.

You win.

[Oisín]

The very first one was appalling; after that I improved a bit. Still only so-so:



(Note the 0.0, though )

[Eug]

First time way off. 6 something cuz I didn't understand a couple of the tests.

2nd time 2.69.

Third time 1.91.

[ghporter]

Ok, not so good for me.

Of course, this was my first try...

[Laminar]

5.0 on the first try.

[Jawbone54]

6.18 (depression)

I did worse than that on my first try.

But with a little practice and a positive attitude, you might just become as totally frickin' awesome as me in this very important and world-changing game.

My best score after about 30 tries.... ugh.

[Ghoser777]

Notes:

1) It helps to remember the point that is the closest to all three sides is the intersection of the angle bisectors, not the perpendicular bisectors (whoops)

2) After going through the steps once, my average was pretty good. After doing it twice, my average went way up (especially after I got a 17 on the last test ). I'll take my 4.39 and go to bed.

6.30 - with a couple of 0.0s and crushing 20+ scores.
But it's late, maybe tomorrow I'll do better.

[Mac User #001]

I uhh... forgot exactly what my score was, but 7 something sounds right. First try. And bookmarked to try again later.

3.48 - second attempt

[Oisín]

Figured being awake and not doing this at three in morning while lying in bed might be an advantage:


Was doing so well, until I royally screwed up that blasted convergence thing in the second round and dipped far below 2.

Made it to that top ten thingy, though:

2.13, one try

i did best on the right angle.

Did better the second time.

[Shaddim]

3.46, one try

[sek929]

Having slipped up and also not understood one of the tests properly I got an abysmal score.

However, I can eyeball a 1/16th of a an inch deflection in a 20 foot long beam so I think my eyeballing skills are excellent, just not in this 2D mouse-driven game.

Make this into a Flash game so you can pwn all your internet friends.

[sek929]

I already do that with Halo 3

[Laminar]

You made Halo 3 into a flash game?

Apparently, I'm better than ********.

EDIT: Heh. That word at 1.95 is starred out by MacNN, if you use the usual spelling.

That would require me actually logging into XBL, which I haven't done since I made the account. Unfortunately, focusing my time on awesome manly things such as motorcycles, women, and Modeling and Analysis of Dynamic Systems has left me little time for kiddie games.

[Dakar V]

These are the best years of your life. You really should be wasting them playing video games.

I really hope this isn't as good as it gets...I'd assuming things will be a bit better in a couple years when I actually have a salary and a chance to pay off some of my debt.

If you have more free time then, you're doing something wrong now.

So I suppose pursuing a degree in engineering would be "something wrong."

[Dakar V]

That depends on how much time it's taking up.

I had far more free time working 45-50 hours a week as an engineer than I do now that I'm back in school.

[Dakar V]

That's awful.

For example. Today:

-Up at 7, shower get ready, bike to class by 8.
-Actually pay attention in class, still do poorly on the quiz because I decided to go to bed by 12 instead of continue studying
-Work from 9:30-5. In that time, write a lab report, read two books and write a report on each of them, due by 6:00 tonight
-Class again from 6-7:30
-Meet with lab partners from 7:30-8:30 to work on lab report
-Participate in online meeting via AIM from 8:30-9:45 to discuss group project progress
-9:45+, begin working on prelab assignment for lab tomorrow, research topics for discussion in class tomorrow, think about starting super-long prelab assignment for class Thursday, but give up and go to bed

Repeat.

[Dakar V]

I'm very prescient.

You have to turn in your man card now: Evidence

Oh yeah, another fun fact. I spent a good portion of last Saturday working on group projects and not reading the books that I have to turn in reports on in 4 hours. I went out for a few beers for my roommate's birthday, then went back to the campus computer lab to finish some simulations at around midnight. Luckily the computer lab is open 24 hours.

1st try. got impatient. I'm drinking

[olePigeon]

4.49 first try. Not bad. I wonder if the artists did better than the mathematicians.

[boy8cookie]

It's really not about math, there aren't any figures to work with. At best, the mathematician can tell me what shape I'm looking it, but it already says that at the top of the screen. Anyway, here's my eye:

[olePigeon]

OK, artist or architect.
