Only through this

    I took the Senses Challenge 3 times, and each time I learned something new. At first I was trying my best to just look at the optical illusions and move the bar to the right spot or choose the correct answer, but I quickly realized my naked eye was faulty. So, the second time going through the test I began using the edge of my phone to measure the bars and, on another question, line then up. This proved successful, but I could not use measurements to determine how much I should enlarge one circle
