This is for all of the frustrated engineers out there.

There always seems to be a guy who can look at something and tell you that a line or an angle is off.

Now you can try your skill at using 'the eye'. This is tougher than it looks.

It is not timed so you can take your time.

It is fun to test your eyeball estimation of geometrical accuracy

Hey buster, this may have been brought up already, but didn't you have a dummy spit and say you were never going to post on this forum ever again and that you wanted your account deleted.

I need to find an older mouse - the one with a ball not laser.... the laser jumps around too much.

yes i spat the dummy like a little kid and because of my own selfishness.
I have decided to GROWUP.. now
I think i owe everyone an apology I show An expression of regret, for the actions i have taken.
I haven't been on the internet long and what i have to realize is the people who use these forums, internet are humans like myself they have feelings and they are people.
Sometimes i guess i fail to see that.
Sometimes all we see is a screen and fail to realize that there are people behind it.

Got a 2.25 after a few goes. Much easier sitting at a desk than hunched over a coffee table at home. Got a few 0.0's in there!

hey doctor you seem to usually be a stickler for correct terminology; its a plumb bob, as in plumbus (for the lump of lead they used to hang on the string), not plum the fruit.
sorry to nitpick but this one just annoyed me for some reason
