Starlord 3,028 Report post Posted January 22 I am #7. How do you draw an X? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher 905 Report post Posted January 22 I had to test to even rememberm, but I am a 5 or 6 myself. Nowadays a preferebly write in Block Capitals. At wich point the 5 is what I use. When I still used handwriting, the small x would sometimes end up using 6 instead, simply because my pen was down there from the previous letter.

Cancer 5,284 Report post Posted January 22 Huh. Consulting Figure 22 here -- which looks like the drafting textbook I used back in 1970/71 -- it looks like from the options presented at the top post, the correct answer is 7. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucius 2,745 Report post Posted January 22 It doesn't matter as long as the result is recognizably an X. Lucius Alexander But the palindromedary wants to know what kind of bait you use to draw an X into a trap.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeropoint 549 Report post Posted January 23 According to some college instructors I've had, you do it by drawing the upper left and lower left legs as one stroke, and the upper right and lower right legs as another stroke. The strokes should be curved rather than angular, and need not touch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
