Wow. A month since the last update. Not for lack of trying either…there’s just less and less time for me to draw nowadays. Primarily work and life reasons…but my recent rediscovery of League of Legends isn’t helping out either. LoL is one of those “just one more round, oh wait, shit–it’s 2am” games. Amazing in all regards though…and free.
Next comic sometime later this week. I’ll need to push through the start of this saga to get inspired again.
-E.
Just for the record- the answer is that it’s the only shape that can’t fall through its own hole.
False, equilateral triangles won’t fall through either. Also, there isn’t a single answer to that question, there are a multitude of reasons.
False. The height (perpendicular to any given side) is less than the length of the sides.
No polygon cannot fall through its own hole. Any shape with an odd number of sides with rounded sides, though (the arcs of the sides being centered at the opposite vertex) cannot, as the diameter is the same all around. Thus, a circle is the least convoluted shape that can’t fall through its own hole, and the only “common” shape that has that property.
I agree with you
Sorry for the necro-comment but I couldn’t pass it up. Awesome break down. I remembered this from the book outliers as ‘only shape’ but this is even a more epic bullshit answer to a ‘critical thinking’ interview question.
PS: (Not trying to denigrate your response by calling it bullshit…Since you have this knowledge, I’m sure you know what I mean by bullshit here 😉
