It's Saturday, and you've had a whole week to abandon finish last week's physics game, so we'll play with a couple of visually-oriented games instead.
The Eyeballing Game - adjust the blue bar to make a parallelogram, find the midpoint of a line segment, bisect an angle, etc.
Test your color IQ - drag and drop the colors to arrange them by hue order. How'd you do?
Flunked trig & colorblind. :)

Finished the physics game Friday eve. Then spent Saturday looking at other people's designs. Amazing how differently some of the solutions approached the problem.
I'd love to see a version where points were awarded - or budgets debited - for simplicity, speed, recycleability, control, etc.
For example, I saw Back and Forth solved with 5 pieces. Another version solved it without a single wheel. Amazing.
What I really learned from all this is how important it is to have different people approach problems in separate "skunkworks" where ideas can grow (or die) and people don't fall into thinking traps.

Thanks ever so much for helping me get rid of all that time I had this morning.
My results reveal me as a true child of Lake Wobegon: above average, like everyone else.

I got a 3, but I'm blind now. Ouch!
