Piecemeal (GuessDash)
Drag the slices to guess how real-world pies are split.
Every day: A daily board of five real-world pie charts, the same for everyone, from freight in Belgium to the calories in a doughnut: drag the slices to estimate each split. New puzzle: Midnight in the Netherlands (GuessDash dates its daily boards in Europe/Amsterdam time).
Piecemeal is a daily estimation game on GuessDash built on pie charts. Each round asks a question such as how freight moves in Belgium or where a glazed doughnut's calories come from, and you drag the slice boundaries to show your estimate of the split. The real figures come from sources like Eurostat, USDA and Our World in Data.
About Piecemeal (GuessDash)
Each Piecemeal round shows an empty pie chart with labelled slices and a question with a short note on what is counted. You drag the edges between slices until the chart matches your guess, then reveal the real split. One round might cover freight carried by road, rail and rivers in Belgium, another the share of fat, carbohydrate and protein in a doughnut's calories, another the continents that won gold at a Winter Olympics.
The daily board has five rounds drawn from different topics, transport, food, sport, emissions and languages among them, and every round cites its data source and year. Everyone plays the same board on the same date, and your result can be compared with other players at the end.
Piecemeal is one of the daily games on GuessDash, a free site of estimation, geography and history puzzles that needs no account.
It suits data lovers, quiz fans and anyone who reads charts in the news and wonders how good their instincts are.

Tips
- Set the biggest slice first; the small ones often follow.

- Avoid putting every slice near equal unless you really have no idea.
