Title: Re: A Satoshi for your Thoughts Post by: notawake on January 09, 2012, 12:31:05 AM Can crop circles be square? From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_circle : Quote A crop circle is a sizable pattern created by the flattening of a crop such as wheat, barley, rye, maize, or rapeseed. Crop circles are also referred to as crop formations, because they are not always circular in shape. Based on Wikipedia's definition, the answer is yes since a square is a "sizable pattern." If your definition is more strict (i.e. focusing on the word circle) than Wikipedia's definition, then the answer is probably no because a circle cannot be a square and vice versa.

Your circles are now scared. Title: Re: A Satoshi for your Thoughts Post by: tiberiandusk on January 09, 2012, 01:55:23 AM They are square in a Timecube (http://www.timecube.com/) universe.
