3.24 on my first try, I got perfect 0s on midpoint and convergence, I bungled the right angle by 0.2 units only. 🆒 ---

> [@Headrush042](#): > > happy to report 0.0 on one of the convergences. I did that too, although 5.27 was my overall. I was in a hurry! 😛 Easiest for me were parallelogram, convergence, and bisect the angle. ---

4.52 on first try. It seems I do consistently best on Midpoint: 0.0, 2.0, 1.2, and Convergence: 2.0, 2.5, 1.5, and consistently worst on Parallelogram: 8.1, 8.4, 6.1 I wonder what this says about me? :eek: ---

3.14 on the first try. Pretty good, but not good enough to crack the high score list. I don’t think I have the patience to try again. ---
