Stole this from oldskoolsuzuki, a gixxer forum that I use. Its a game with various different challenges, this series of tasks is repeated three times then your final score is given as an average...lower the better. My second attempt shown below, I ballsed up on convergence on the very last game which threw up my score Will try again later.

Nope mate, just find straights easy (which is a good thing in life ), always have done. Also many of them if you carefully line up the blue arrow the blocky pixels on my screen go perfectly straight when lined up right....but this only works on some of the right angles. The one with the three arrows that need lining up is also easy...line up two and then use the third to check against. My eyes hurt now though sitting that close to the screen

Its all hit and miss though, some designs are different making it harder/easier, my parrallelogram is all over the place (pure fluke on the first one though lol) as is my triangulation....but my circle centre is really consistant as the shape obviously is always the same.
