I enjoyed the interview, ita. I'll look forward to any others you post.
My new passport arrived today. The other one expired last month, so I had to send off for a replacement. Given that I only leave the US every couple of years, it suprised me how uncomfortable I felt without having it handy. I guess I want to be able to jet off at a moment's notice, should my life's plot line call for it. Well, now I can--yay!
Yeah, I finished 11.
Can I have a hint? What's the first tool you used?
I swear I read someone else being stuck at 19 too. I don't know if it's because of my aged geometry knowledge, but they don't strictly seem to be increasing in complexity. Or they are, and I'm sometimes making great guesses, sometimes bad.

Thank you! It was so fun to do, and I learnt a lot.
Okay, if I transscribe on the balconly in the Adirondack chair, it'll go faster, right? That and problem 11.
Can I have a hint? What's the first tool you used?
Midpoint, I think. I had to try a few different things before figuring out how to do it.
I am still dead stuck on it, after having used a Compass2 solution that I can't see why it wouldn't get the relevant distances right at the offset angle. Time for something different.
geometry play-and-post!
I spent the day cataloguing my sister's Italian ceramics collection. Which sounds like a total first world problem but arrrgh! Because it took hours, and it's only the first part of the work--and not even finished at that!--followed by emails and trying to sell the stuff and probably eventually boxing it all up myself. And I. Hate. Packing.
I got level 20, but I'm still not entirely sure why my solution worked.
Playing through Euclid again, I realize I was thinking of the wrong problem when I gave the hint for level 11. My actual hint is to think about what you did in the previous few levels with making line segments of specific lengths.
