Introduction:
"For each question, I will give a description of either a plane shape or a solid. You must give the MOST GENERAL shape which fits the description."


1. Which plane figure is defined as any polygon with exactly 4 angles, all of whom are equal?
    Square
    Rectangle
    Quadrilateral
    Rhombus


2. Which Solid can be defined as the regular polyhedron (a solid with all faces identical regular polygons) with the greatest number of faces?
    Dodecahedron
    Icosahedron
    Tetrahedron
    Octahedron


3. What shape is created by taking a rectangular sheet of paper, giving it a "twist" and gluing the two ends of the strips together?
    Klein Strip
    Lobachevsky Strip
    Riemann Strip
    Mobius Strip


4. What solid can be thought of as taking a cylinder, giving it a "twist" in some fourth dimension, and gluing one end of the cylinder to the other end?
    Mobius Bottle
    Lobachevsky Bottle
    Riemann Bottle
    Klein Bottle


5. Of all plane shapes with the same perimeter, which one has the greatest area?
    Answer: (One Word)


6. What shape can be created by taking a rectangular piece of paper, rolling one pair of opposite sides onto each other (to form a cylinder), then rolling the two opposite circular ends of the cylinder onto each other?
    Another Cylinder
    Projective Plane
    Torus
    Sphere


7. If two sides of a triangle are given, what type of triangle containing those two sides will have the greatest area?
    Right Triangle
    Acute Triangle
    Obtuse Triangle
    No Such Maximal Triangle Exists


8. What Plane Shape can be defined as a quadrilateral whose diagonals bisect each other and are perpendicular?
    Parallelogram
    Rhombus
    Rectangle
    Kite


9. Which of these pairs of shapes CANNOT be used to fill the entire plane (assuming all sides are the same length and some of each shape are used)?
    Hexagons and More Hexagons
    Triangles and More Triangles
    Squares and Octagons
    Pentagons and Hexagons


10. Finally, which one of these four solids is not a real shape (i.e. which one did I just make up?)
    Rhombitruncated Icosidodecahedron
    Pentagonal Hexecontahedron
    Snub Cube
    Icosapentahedron
