Why Remembering Simple Shapes Is Harder Than It Looks

A triangle feels obvious until it vanishes. Then your brain must reconstruct distance, angle, and symmetry from memory.

Simple shapes feel easy because your eyes are doing the work. The second the reference disappears, you switch from perception to reconstruction. That handoff is where most errors happen.

Triangles are especially tricky because every corner depends on the other two. A small shift in one vertex stretches an edge, and the imbalance compounds by the time you place the third point.

Perfect Triangle is built for that moment of recall. You study the reference, watch it fade, and then place three points from memory. The result is a single accuracy percentage based on how close your corners and edges are to the original.

Scoring favors clean geometry: tighter vertex placement and consistent side lengths rank higher. Rotation is tolerated, but distance errors show up instantly in the comparison overlay.

Tips to rank higher: lock onto the center, feel the equal spacing, and place the top corner first so the base feels balanced. Do not chase tiny corrections—commit to your best estimate.
