If you're talking about inflatables, he'd like to have a word with you.

Then you and him should have a lot to talk about, then.

After all, a pyramid is a 3-dimensional triangle, a triangle having three sides. But all the Pyramid logos and set designs allude to more of a trapezoidal shape, which has four sides.[/quote]
Considering that the structure that had to be scaled in the Winner's Circle was made up of boxes, thereby making each level looked squared-off, then looking only at that portion of the set, I think the original show should have been called "The $10,000 Ziggurat."

I think the shape used on the show is called "Frustum". Chop off the top of a normal pyramid/triangle, get a flat top. Then add a bunch of lights and a OOH LOOK AT IT FLASH dollar-amount-on-a-sign, and people won't notice the giant plank of wood affixed near the bottom of said frustum.

The problem, if you'd RTFA, is that a frustrum is three-dimensional (or part of three dimensions). The general public just sees the one side, so I'm leaning towards Mr. Lemon and Mr. GSG's argument; if you're going to dissect, it's a trapezoid.

/you must have confused frustrum with "frustrating," which are most of your posts

And to the surprise of nobody, he didn't even read it, since it's pretty clear he's wrong. Again.

Can I make a bet on when Dan heavily edits the post so it looks like he said nothing wrong?

WarioBarker · « **Reply #164 on:** June 27, 2010, 02:52:26 PM »

I merely threw that out there as a suggestion, thinking that a frustum could apply to two-dimensional surfaces as well as three-dimensional. Yes, I read it before I made the post, but upon looking over the article again I realize that I was, in fact, wrong. I freely admit that I was wrong, and will not be editing the aforementioned post.
