The eyeballing game - useful Time Waster

Most of the time wasters we feature are simply that - games that have no other purpose other than to entertain. This time waster is a little different. The eyeballing game tests how well you can visually estimate things like equally bisecting an angle, finding the center of a circle or triangle, finding an intersecting point of three lines, or completing a parallelogram accurately.

The game gives you a rating based on how far from the actual answer you are on average, then shows you where you fit on the curve of everyone that has played the game. The eyeballing game is certainly no fast-paced action game and it isn't likely to get your adrenaline going, but if you're interested in learning a bit about how good you are at estimating, it's worth spending the 5 minutes or so to complete the game.
