A word in a movie took me on a very strange journey. TESSERACT. Rhombic Dodecahedron. The Dali Cross is a tesseract. What is its purpose?

Shapes. Circle square triangle cube . The world of shapes is very strange.  I never really thought much about it. A box is square a ball is round and pyramids are triangular . There is an musical instrument called a Triangle.Then there are pentagons and octogons.  Googolgons too in some other universe perhaps?. Why do shapes matter? Well a square ball might not bounce as well and a triangular box wouldn't hold as much .  I've seen round ice cube from trays that have round areas for the water but  usually ice cubes are square. Never saw any that were triangular but I suppose they exist somewhere. A whole new area to ponder upon. Shapes. Do you have a favorite one?

    There are five of them on the Australian flag (the sixth has just five points).

    Thank you for the info R. I shall look more closely at the flag next time I see one. Oh Nick beat a really nice guy at the Acapulco Open (I think). I guess he will play at Indian Wells which starts today. The first of ten Masters Tournaments. So more tennis! Oh boy. Happy Monday!  :)
