    I have a calibrated eyeball. When in a Navy school, the instructor wanted to prove a point about how bad people are at estimating. He called six of us to the board at the front of the class and said, "Draw a line eight inches long." Then of course he took a ruler and masured each attempt. I still remember how ridiculous the spread was: 5.25, 9.75, 9.5, 6.75, 7.25 and when he measured mine, he didn't say out loud that it was 8.0625. He just turned around, looked at me and gave me the finger.

    LOL!
    As corny as I think it is that number fallows me too, I once got 6,666,666 on a game of DDR. Me and my friend freaked out at how unlikely it was(like winning the lottery if you only picked one number across the board...and that number was 6)

    Ha. When I first saw the video of the guy drawing the circle on the chalkboard above, my immediate thought was, "I'm going to make a video that spoofs this." And then I saw your post. I would've made a better bad circle video than him.

    I do well on straight lines, from telling how long a line is, to drawing a certain length, and picking the center. I credit it to being a mechanic. Being able to eyeball nuts, bolts, and distances means less trips to the toolbox.

    3.94 on the 1st attempt...you can bet I'll be trying it at work tomorrow on the drawing tablet...

    Not too easy on a glide point laptop mouse.
