How well can you estimate measurements by eye?

 

[2Loud4You]

I'm pretty good with bolt head size, being a mechanic but for the most part, eyeballing size and distance isn't my strong suit.

Cool, I did ok but screwed up the first one so got a score of 6.8. I got a score of 1.0 on the right angle which is the best in the last 500 tries!

Had a couple that fast clicked on, still got a 6.5.

5.33 but still behind the bell curve

 

[deadin]

4.0 on the first try! As soon as my eyes refocus, I'll try again.

 

[PLW45]

5.4 on first try. that was fun!

 

[BarbC]

I've done it a few times and the best I can get is 5.31.

The first time I tried it I didn't remember what a parallelogram was.

 

[G-Mac]

I did it quick and got 4.33 first try...but I've been a steel fabricator my whole$life...I've also done weld inspection...I'd say I have a "good eye".

Thanks, Barb, that's a keeper!

[Riccur]

3.79 right angle and parallelogram are my weak spots.

 

[USAF385]

2.25 WITHOUT cheating.

You know some people are holding compasses and protractors up the their monitors! haha.

The triangle center ones killed me!

 

[Smithfan]

Geometry never was my forte; clearly, it still is not.

Wonder how much age plays into the ability to see these things. I am nearing 40.

 

[kleinkaliber]

Tried it once, 3.15. I screwed up the first para <STRIKE>parallagram</STRIKE> llagram, can't even spell it. The first one.

 

[zercool]

3.43, and found that I did better the less I fussed the spot. Find what "looks right" and stop guessing, just go with it.

 

[JD 500]

4.39 , you guys and gals have better eyeballs than I.
