Bats have poor vision and navigate by echolocation, but
I'm happier using my Isight.

The below postion Axelises really beautifully and I correctly passed
it. I'm not sure I would have passed without this tool.
The adjusted computation is 48 + 1/6 * 48 - 54 which = exactly 2.
Exactly at the drop/take threshold which makes a drop because we
drop at this border.
And lo and behold, the bot says 1.016 which is also super-marginal.

If there's ever a marketing campaign for Isight, the below position
could feature in a commercial spot.
