I passed.

Me 2

This is another puzzle that was satisfying to solve with only squares, no dots.

Julian, what are you testing? Just curious!

Maybe testing for how many of us comment on it.

Or testing whether you can post two identical puzzles? Or just how the whole puzzle-making process works?

Julian, we are curious!

I didn't use a number 2 pencil so I failed.

lol

My high school required everybody to take a year-long drafting class. That was a class where you really could fail a test by using the wrong type of pencil, even if you got the right answer. I always thought that was a little bit maddening! I liked envisioning different views of an object and drawing them, but not the part about "you used the wrong type of pencil so you failed."

dang! I imagine that if you used a #2 rather than a 5H (or whatever), the lines would be much darker and thicker than you wanted.

I doubt they'd care if you used a 6H instead of a 5H, though. ;)

I too took the drafting and mechanical drawing classes available at my high school. I loved the exactness of it. The idea that there was a right way of doing everything was quite appealing to me. I did have a really difficult time with lettering. TOM Q. VAXY was ashamed of me.

On a side note... I worked for my father in his newly started machine shop when I was 13, mostly sweeping up and doing as I was told. One day he was looking at some blueprint to bid on a job. I was looking over his shoulder and pointed out that we would have to do this step on the drill press before that step on the lathe. He was shocked that I could read blueprints and said that I was being underutilized. I got promoted that day (except for pay)

Coolness!

nice!

I too took the drafting classes in high school... but I also wanted to be an architect :P they only gave credit for a class of you hadn't taken it and they only offered two years each of architectural and mechanical drafting. I took both years of architectural and a year of mechanical my junior year. In my senior year the teacher knew I wanted to be an architect but could only take the advanced nexus drafting class so he let me do my own projects of architectural drafting :)
