Battle of the Shapes: Semi Finals 1 of 2

In a battle resembling that of mentor against apprentice, the four-sided mentor Square took on its cut-cornered apprentice Octagon, in an epic battle that went down to the wire, the final countdown, or whatever. And the winner of this mighty fight was … (dramatic pause brought to you by FOX) … Square! Once again a classic shape defeated its more numerous-sided cousin. And so the pattern becomes clear. The simpler sided shapes, with only 1, 2, 3, or 4 sides, are preferred over the more complex 5, 6, 7, or 8 sided shapes. And so, there are now only four shapes remaining. But not for long. The new battle is upon us:

CIRCLE VS. TRIANGLE

 

Proudest moment:
Being the only shape chosen as a symbol for both a letter and a number.
Biggest regret:
Not foreseeing the appeal of tossing horseshoes at a stick, before it could promote circular rings as the better alternative. And thus a game that could have been known as “Rings”, lost out to stupid equestrian footwear.

 

Proudest moment:
Beating the stuffing out of Septagon in the Non-Review’s “Battle of the Shapes.”
Biggest regret:
Never, in all the time they spent together, expressing to Pythagoras its true feelings for him.
