What the split test measures
The daily gives everyone the same five shapes and one attempt. Practice gives you fresh random shapes every run and lets you play until you are bored, which is the only way to actually get better at judging area.
The skill being trained is specific: seeing where a shape's mass sits rather than where its outline is widest. Most people aim through the middle of the bounding box and land systematically off to one side. Twenty practice runs make that habit visible in a way a single daily attempt cannot.
Nothing here is recorded against the daily, shared, or counted. Your best practice score is kept separately so you can watch it move.
What counts as a good cut
| Split | Accuracy | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| 50 / 50 | 100% | Perfect |
| 48 / 52 | 96% | Excellent |
| 45 / 55 | 90% | Good |
| 40 / 60 | 80% | Fair |
| 30 / 70 | 60% | Poor |
| 20 / 80 | 40% | Well off |
| Average over five cuts | Percentile |
|---|---|
| Below 76% | Bottom fifth |
| 76 – 82% | Below average |
| 82 – 88% | About average |
| 88 – 93% | Above average |
| 93 – 96% | Strong |
| Above 96% | Top few percent |
How to cut closer to even
- Play twenty rounds before judging yourself. Five cuts is too few to separate skill from luck. Your average over four or five practice runs is the number that means something.
- Note which way you miss. If your cuts consistently leave the bigger piece on the same side, you are reading outline rather than mass. Correcting a consistent bias is easy once you can see it.
- Try cutting at odd angles. A perfect split exists at every angle. Practising diagonal and near-horizontal cuts stops you defaulting to vertical, which is rarely the easiest read.
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.
Are practice shapes the same as the daily shapes?
Same generator, same asymmetry screening, but random rather than fixed by the date. You will not see today's daily shapes in practice.
Is there a practice streak?
No. Only finishing the daily affects anything, so practice can be played freely.
