Click two places on the graph and then click 'Plot line' to draw your line. The score is calculated as the absolute difference between the mean squared error of your line and the mean squared error of the least squares best fit. A lower score indicates a better guess. Only the first attempt at each dataset will count towards the top score.

Warning: Points chosen around the boundaries of the graph may not appear on the graph.
