    If you didn’t read “Job’s done” in a Orc peon’s voice, then are you really living life?

    Edit: Fools! It wasn’t an Orc peon, it was a Human Peasant! You feel for my trap!

    I was looking at the numbers, expecting to see them out of order or something like that. Then I saw it.

    I am willing to bet this was a student project and an ongoing point of derision for the students who got a C for at least measuring the angles correctly.

    Hehe, we’ve all been hyperfocused on the difficult part of a task and missed the simple part before. The part you didn’t have to think about because it was so simple comparatively…

    I’ve had plenty of times where I was part way through putting all the parts into a computer case only to realise I hadn’t moved out the old case and brought in the new case yet… was just so focused on the main puzzle.

      You ever see someone take a door off the hinges, measure meticulously, make a perfect cut, mount the doggy door exactly centered and level the perfect height from the doors edge… only to realise its in the wrong end of the door when they go to re-mount it?

      No you havent, because I made sure nobody saw.

    I like that the assumption is that this is an error, that the protractor was meant to be centered on the door so that the door could be used to show angles.

    But it doesn’t have to be a mistake. It isn’t like the door is going to be useful for measuring much. This could just be decorative, a way to say “here’s the geometry classroom”
