Hey .. great game, shame the answers are not meaningful a % accuiracy would be better.

I think the setup of your monitor plays a part...the circle on mine was slightly out...that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Hmmmm 3.5 overall...

Interesting that my first go was much more accurate than the next 2 goes?

I did just terrible the first time. So I did it again with my glasses on. Still, not so great. The dogs did much better, I wagered nice rawhide bones if they beat me. They are enjoying them now.

When the cat finally wanders home, I'll risk a can of salmon.

8.77 for my first time. Not bad for someone with amblyopia.

Thanks for the link.

The right angle test is not correctly calculating the correct angle.

Having been told i am off by a large degree of error, I have checked my location with a right angle. The "correct" angle shown on the screen is not even close to a right angle.

Anybody scoring better than 3 cheated.

I really enjoyed your website, especially the steam powered sawmill.
