  9. Five. Picked up clues from the names, but got some of them wrong too. Basically in the dark most of the time. Interesting, but have a sense of emptiness in polygonatiousness, going on infinately. –urk–

    • LOL, Kathy 🙂 It is all about the names, no matter how you come at it! And yes of course the empty plane does go on infinitely in an infinity of directions. And that’s just 2 dimensions 😮

  11. …a very advanced quiz of mathematical knowledge about polygons where some of it were not taught by our elementary and secondary teachers, only for professional and advanced masteral of mathematics enthusiasts…you got a fantastic quiz that’s truly remarkable…Congrats Norman 🙂
