Round by round
A round scores 100 for a guess within a small margin of the truth and falls in a straight line to 0 for a wild one; the day is the average of the five. The pictures are the game — these are the figures behind them.
- Mix. What percent of the dots are purple? 32 of the 107 dots were purple and 75 were not: 30%.
- Average. Where is the average height of these bars? 6 bars, at 14, 33, 13, 41, 100 and 55% of the tallest. Their average is 43%, below the halfway line.
- Count. How many dots? You get three seconds. 22 dots, shown for three seconds, in a cloud about 73% of the picture wide.
- Aim. Where will the arrow hit the wall? The arrow’s line had to be carried on 3.8 times the arrow’s own length to reach the wall.
- Center. This arc is part of a circle. Where is its center? The arc was 112° of its circle, 31% of the way round. The shorter the arc, the less it says about its center.
