	This quiz has an interesting format and was fun to play! I wish it were a little longer, but really well done.

	RainmanDX:	Jan 26th, 2011 at 03:29 GMT	1 point
	Thanks for the compliments, willa_p! Everyone: feel free to post your high scores in the comments, too!

	Gonna be picky here. Question 3 is worded really poorly in my opinion. As it is worded now I would expect it to describe any parallelogram and not all of those are also a rhombus.

	RainmanDX:	Jan 26th, 2011 at 13:32 GMT	2 points
	See, that only goes to highlight a clear misunderstanding of parallelograms. In no way does the definition of a parallelogram state that it should have sides of equal length. So... yeah. The question is worded correctly. But thanks for the consideration!

	"Equidistant" does not mean "having equal length"—it means "equally far apart" (i.e., "equally distant"). You should just refer to "a quadrilateral with sides of equal length" if that's what you mean. You could also refer to the quadrilateral as "equilateral," which means "having equal-length sides," although "equilateral quadrilateral" does sound awkward (which is probably why there's another word for it, right?).

	@zifyoip: that's what I was going to say! I read the question and thought "equidistant from where?" (although it was easy to guess what the question really meant).

	RainmanDX:	Jan 27th, 2011 at 01:31 GMT	1 point
	Mm yes, I see your point, but interestingly enough it still works: altitudes from each edge of either a rhombus or a square (but in the most general sense, a rhombus) are equidistant from intersecting the opposite edge regardless of the point of origin. With any other shapes, save maybe a circle, this is not true (and circle wasn't one of the options). So I dunno; I don't want to be vainly obstinate about it, but I haven't been convinced yet to change it.

	@RainmanDX: "Equidistant from intersecting the opposite edge"? That phrase doesn't mean anything, it doesn't make sense; you aren't using the word "equidistant" correctly. Here's an example of proper use of the word "equidistant": The circumcenter of a triangle is the point equidistant from the triangle's vertices. What you mean to say, I think, is that the altitudes of a rhombus are all the same length, i.e., that the distance between two parallel sides is the same as the distance between the other two parallel sides. "Equidistant edges" is not at all a clear way to say this, and anyway this seems to be a rather unusual way to describe a rhombus.

	I saw the parallelogram question, and my first thought was "equidistant from where? Equidistant from each other?" My second thought was "of course the sides of a quadrilateral will never be equidistant- given any side, two other sides intersect it and the third one doesn't!" And I had no clue how to answer the question after that.

	Alright, I'm tired of making the argument. Far from conceding the point, I still want everyone to enjoy the quiz, so I'm changing it for clarity's sake. Thanks all for the comments and ratings.
