129. I think I did pretty well.

I got 96 the first time and it was blind luck. Being systematic and even trying to cheat, the best I could do was 139.

I am terrible at this. If I ever claim to "know by the pixels" feel free to chase after me with the fervor of the pixel gods.

I am apparently better at height than width, which also describes my physical stature. Also, the filtering software at work doesn't realize this is a game, so I'm stickin' it to the man every time I play!

It asked me if I'm drunk. For the record: no, I just have lousy pix-spatial abilities.

64 and it kind of freaked me out how close I was every time. If I had scored any lower, I would have been looking over my shoulder for Tron.

Hmm, this should really be called "Expoint.ly" or something, since it certainly isn't counting pixels right on my Retina display.

That's one mean game.

That's equally satisfying and frustrating at the same time.

You're more pixact in frustrating than satisfying.

I managed to get one exactly right, somehow... that was pretty cool.

My only reference for how big pixels are is resizing excel spreadsheet cells. When I do the math for how many excel rows would go into the requested height, I actually do pretty ok with this.

Sweet. I saw this on Neatorama, "via MetaFilter."
