How accurate are you?

1st try:

Parallelogram 16.4 17.0 13.3
Midpoint 5.0 2.2 5.7
Bisect angle 11.7 3.2 1.0
Triangle center 2.6 7.1 5.7
Circle center 1.4 4.0 4.5
Right angle 7.4 5.2 2.5
Convergence 3.2 0.0 1.0
Average error: 5.72 (lower is better)
Time taken: 194.2
 
No wonder I'm always aiming right of center by accident.. My perception is inaccurate quite often..

Your inaccuracy by category:
Parallelogram 2.8 6.0 2.2
Midpoint 7.3 7.3 3.6
Bisect angle 5.0 1.8 1.0
Triangle center 3.7 6.4 5.7
Circle center 8.6 6.3 6.1
Right angle 1.0 5.6 4.8
Convergence 5.4 7.6 8.1
Average error: 5.06 (lower is better)
Time taken: 134.3

After doing it with both eyes, I tried it with one eye closed at a time..

I was with .10 with each eye, 5.11 & 5.21 Left and Right.. Not sure it it means anything but I was surprised how I had difficulty finding center ball no matter how I did the test..

The reason I posted this URL originally was to show that perception makes everything imperfect. If you wanna get technical, even if you can show double-the-distance and ghost ball working on paper, perception quickly converts it into a "guess." It's definitely an educated guess, but a guess nonetheless.

You can even apply that to CTE -- if you think you see an alignment accurately and you're not, you're missing.

Aiming systems make no sense to me especially the ones that require to find a point on the object ball. Considering I cannot find the middle of the cueball, what are the chances of finding a point 8ft away.

I can shoot the OB straight into the rail about half the time without
even trying lol . :grin-square:

That reminds me of one of my favorite things to say to a close friend of mine when playing pool. It works best if he/she plays several balls below you. It's a great ball-buster and typically gets a lot of laffs. You only get to use this once with each person. And it works best in a party environment when you have several friends over at the same time.

Situation: you wait until they miss BADLY. Pick a long shot into a corner pocket when they miss the pocket by close to a diamond away.

What you say: You know why you missed that shot?

Their typical response: No. Why? What did I do wrong?

What you do next: You walk over to where their object ball hit the cushion... and place your hand exactly on the spot where their ball contacted the cushion...

... and say: You missed that shot because there's no pocket right here. :rotflmao1::rotflmao1:
 
good game.
here's my results:
Parallelogram 20.1 6.7 8.5
Midpoint 2.2 5.0 4.1
Bisect angle 0.2 1.4 2.1
Triangle center 4.4 4.6 3.7
Circle center 2.2 6.7 6.0
Right angle 0.2 5.6 3.1
Convergence 24.1 6.4 3.6

Average error: 5.76 (lower is better)
Time taken: 122.2
I'm gonna try again
