Um, not so good. In fact, pretty dang bad.

I managed to botch a few in there pretty badly that skewed it high.

I was pretty happy about bisecting the angle so I only took one run.
All of mine were lower! My right triangle was .2 Woo Hoo! I assumed that I would really suck at this.
a bit of a cheat I couldn’t help but figure out
The circle is pretty easy because of pixelized curving-line resolution. Just line up the between the flat line segents at top bottom and left and right, nail it every time.
I wasn’t looking for a cheat, but I have worked with graphics enough it was too instinctive to not look at them
2.51
Our offices were on the 14th floor of a building one time. I watched as they were building the monorail bridge over the road. The bridge didn’t look high enough to give 18-wheels clearance, but I never drove that way to take another look and traffic was blocked from the road. I worried about it for a few days then found the number for the city project and called them about it anyway. They said, “Why, yes. We’re planning on resurfacing and lowering the road.”
Well on the “worse” side of the curve, but mostly because of one really bad midpoint score where my moue slipped just as I was letting go. I still can’t believe I hit one of them dead on.

The angles kill me. I’m too anal retentive for this game - that’s why I have a surveyor and a computer!

Avg - 4.63
I’ll try again to see if I can beat that.
Dumb question–what’s convergence? I tried looking it up and got definitions that I don’t understand. I’m always way off on that one.
Better than I by far!
What’s your score?
If I cheat and break out a ruler…I get 5.66
I’m really bad.

Nailed the circle center the first time around.
It’s where all the lines will meet (or converge) – bring the lines together so that they’re all still straight.
3.85. I’m pretty sure I would have scored higher before I learned to draft.
ETA: Hah! I got a 0.0 on the midpoint of the line!
OK, understanding what convergence meant helped. I did better, but still not well.

I didn’t think that was cheating; how else would one center a circle without using the quadrants?
