The Eyes Have It … or Not
How accurately can you sight things in without measuring? It’s not as easy as you might think. (Woodgears.ca) I’m very good at finding centers of circles and not so good at finding points of convergence. How did you do?
Update: I’ve found that my ability to eyeball improved significantly with practice…lots of practice. I might be addicted to this game. My best score so far? 2.93.
Yes, Spelling Counts
Two from mental_floss Blog:
- Name all the states that end with A in four minutes. (I can’t remember how I did on this one.)
- What states have a coastal border? Can you name all 23 in three minutes? (I knew the western and southern ones. East coast? Not so much.)

I got all but two; Florida and Louisiana.
I missed two on each.
Man Rebecca, I can't believe how well you do with the eye tests! I was terrible at the colour thing. This one I got 11.04 and i think it was worse with each try! I am better at the trivia stuff, but not this time. Missed seven on the first and six on the second.
