Math Riddle

What kind of jaded, jackass jerk'll
ask smugly with a smile and smirkle,
diagonals to think upon,
and an inscribed polygon,
while gazing on a split-up circle.

Suzette Richards Date: 10/10/2024 8:30:00 PM I love math, but I must have been absent the day this was discussed. You made me look! Wikipedia has its uses :) Nice Limerick, David. Login to Reply David Crandall Date: 10/11/2024 9:40:00 AM Haha, it's called "Moser's circle problem".

Hilda Greenhough Date: 10/10/2024 12:12:00 PM Unfair! You're a math wizard. I still can't figure it out. Today's high school kids figure this one out. Login to Reply David Crandall Date: 10/10/2024 12:19:00 PM haha, I was researching some math puzzles my advanced kids, and I sometimes torment my brothers with them too, so I decided to give it to them in poem form...but don't worry, nobody, including myself, knows what I am talking about!
