10 shapes 12 sec/shape (2nd try, no brute-force, mobile) 16 shapes (3rd try) 18 shapes (4th try) 24 shapes (5th try, no brute-force) P.S. I had 7 years of art school in addition to engineering
I'm in the same ballpark: 21 2nd try, and 18 3rd try. I've sort of always known that I've had good spatial reasoning, and this is one way to confirm it. I tend to think about most problems spatially, even molding things like code and social relations into this medium, because it's my strongest skill. I also tend toward the hyperphantasia side of the spectrum. I'm curious if other highscorers also tend toward hyperpha…
I'm shocked. I have the same mindset. For example, if I need to predict how technologies can potentially evolve, I visualize them in different planes based on the history of technologies, such as centralization/decentralization cycles, compute networks growing, and the shift to centralization. Also, I visualize how some technologists like Kubernetes go into decentralization (like this is some of primitive form of life, where Datacenters/Bigdata some sort of prebiotic soup for the first vertebrates (Edge Computing devices)). And decentralized solutions such as blockchain are superimposed on this infrastructure. In my head, it looks like a huge visual picture with different levels of abstraction. It constantly evolves
I see how human sins are the drivers of technology development
