Eyeballing test

Found this over on my pen turning forum.

Enjoy.

Rick

That's a really cool test.
I got 5.3 on my first try... maybe I'll try again later.

Edit:
Oh, what kind of monitor do you guys have?
The FAQ makes a good point, that LCD's are much truer displays in terms of aspect ratio.
I have an old CRT

LCD here. Have to try it again when I'm a little more with-it.
OTOH, while I've got pretty good fine motor control, count me out of any classic ball games.

I don't even like being in the same room as a basketball

3.3 - flat screen CRT.
Although I have tried it once before. I did nail the right angle twice with 0.0.

Excellent game and a rather fetching 3.9 on my first go.

LCD monitor here, the CRT, even the flat ones, can give rather distorted views, but a better colour contrast

4.9

I appear to be good at eyeballing angles and lousy as eyeballing the centers of things.

Okay. You beat me, Dan, but it isn't a contest!
