What balance point measures
The daily gives everyone the same five shapes and one attempt. Practice gives you fresh ones every run, which is the only way to build the instinct for where mass actually sits.
The error most people make is consistent: they click the middle of the bounding box, which on a bent shape is reliably pulled away from the true centre. Seeing the answer revealed twenty times in a row is what breaks that habit.
Nothing here is recorded against the daily or shared. Your best practice score is kept separately.
What counts as a close click
| Miss | On a 400px shape | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Dead on | 0px | 100% |
| Very close | 8px | 93% |
| Close | 16px | 87% |
| Fair | 24px | 80% |
| Middle of the box | 23px | 81% |
| Well off | 60px | 50% |
| Average over five shapes | Percentile |
|---|---|
| Below 64% | Bottom tenth |
| 64 – 76% | Below average |
| 76 – 85% | About average |
| 85 – 91% | Above average |
| 91 – 95% | Strong |
| Above 95% | Top few percent |
How to find the centre faster
- Watch which way you miss. If your clicks land consistently on the far side of a bend from the answer, you are reading the outline rather than the mass. That bias is correctable once you can see it.
- Study the shapes where the answer lands off the shape. If a form wraps around empty space, the balance point is usually in that space, and the deeper the wrap the further out it goes.
- Play twenty before judging yourself. Five clicks is too few to separate skill from luck. Your average across four or five runs is the number that means something.
Frequently asked questions
Does practice affect my daily result?
No. The daily is one attempt on the day's fixed shapes. Practice uses random shapes and is never recorded against it.
Why does the answer keep landing outside the shape?
Because most of these shapes are bent, and a bent shape balances at a point in its hollow. It is the same reason a horseshoe balances on nothing.
Is there a practice streak?
No. Only finishing the daily affects anything, so practice can be played freely.
