Before you even let your dirt-guy fire up the dozer, make sure he can score under 3.0 on his entrance exam. Otto's accuracy test

Pretty nifty. There ought to be some curve-judging problems as well IMHO.

Neat game Brettski, I guess I would have to be trained some more to work for Otto. I only got a 3.95 overall, my ability to judge right angles was accurate to .1 units, that's right I said POINT one. I would maintain that this test has a limited amount to do with how well you could work dirt though, but visualization is a good start, ability to control and adapt with the machine and knowing how various materials handle and compact has more bearing in what I do. Still a neat test.

Well. That was disappointing.
I guess it is time to put the dozer, loader, backhoe, and tractor on e-bay.
Now I'm afraid to even use my pocket knife.

Ken, my Wife is hiding the fingernail clippers.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

I don't want to talk about it.

I found my scores were amazingly dependent on which monitor I used. Middle-aged monitor at work: 3's. Older, smaller monitor on the old desktop at home: 5's & 6's.
I need to try it on a big flatscreen.

Had trouble standing on the line with arms stretched out each side then bringing them together in front of me for that right angle.
Couldn't step off anything either....
