Is it possible to draw a perfect circle

It's much harder than it seems

I remember hearing that people who could were insane. I can't, which contradicts this theory

I was told simlar to that, well they swapped insane for gay

Personally, Im hopeless at any kind of drawing, so I wont even attempt to draw a circle in order to save me the humiliation

Are you guys going clockwise? I did mine anticlockwise

Yeah we're normal people

I find it easier to draw anti-clockwise.

It's hard with a trackpad..

That just looks like a pentagon with smoothed edges.

My hand happens to be a compass.

One that happens to draw incorrectly - that's an ellipse.

Pro-tip - try the shift key. Edit: Beated

Mathematically speaking, it's impossible to construct a perfect circle in a finite number of steps using a compass and straightedge, so I very much doubt a person could do it freehand!

That said, we can get it as close to perfect as we want to; within our physical limitations of course.

I managed to do it damn near spot on, the look on his face was a strange one, he sort of looked shocked and said that anyone who can draw a circle that well has some sort of severe imbalance in themselves or something, or some religious codswallop cant quite remember what though. I half expected him to whip out a bible and try to perform an exorcism on me. Was a strange day that one, because he never would really look at me properly or address me directly from then on.

That's seriously cool. You could have messed with his head so much
