Why is a manhole cover round and not square? Can you guess the two reasons?
Choose an answer
A.Round covers are cheaper to manufacture
B.Round covers are stronger under weight
C.Round covers fit any size hole
D.1: It can't fall through the hole like a square one could. 2: It can easily be moved by rolling.
Hint: It's a 18-word phrase with 70 letters, starting with "1".
Answer
1: It can't fall through the hole like a square one could. 2: It can easily be moved by rolling.
Why this is the answer
A circle's constant width means it can never tip and fall through its own hole, and it can be rolled easily to move it, unlike a square cover.
