Split Practice: Mark the Exact Ratio
Split gives you a line and a fraction, such as 3/7, and asks you to drop a marker at that point. Most targets land between 15 and 85 percent of the line, which makes the task interpolation rather than arithmetic.
How Split is played
- 1
Read the ratio
A fraction sits above the line, always with the numerator smaller than the denominator in a normal question. The miss is not measured in pixels but as a share of the line.
- 2
Drag the marker
Drag from the stated end, or nudge with the arrow keys — one percent a press, five with Shift — and release to lock the mark.
- 3
Read the gap
The result marks the true point and reports how far your mark sat from it, as a percentage of the line, then scores it.
Split questions
Can a Split target go past the end of the line?
On the Friday variant, yes: the mark is a percentage from 5 to 200, and anything over 100 sits beyond the end of the line. The stage extends far enough for the mark to stay reachable at 200.
Which end do I measure from?
The question says so — left or right. Fractions are read from the stated end, so 2/5 from the right is the mirror of 2/5 from the left.
Why does a small miss still cost points?
The line is the whole scale. One sigma on a normal Split is five percent of the line, so a mark ten percent off already scores in the teens.
