quiz question

[franceshblue]

Which is a tighter fit - a round peg in a square hole or a square peg in a round hole?

[cruciverbali]

.............. and does it depend on the respective sizes of the pegs and holes ?

[franceshblue]

I don't know, the question just says Which is a tighter fit - a round peg in a square hole or a square peg in a round hole?

Equal I would have thought.

Both would have four points of contact.

I believe it is the round peg. See this link, I hope it helps.

Definitely a round peg

[bazigi]

this is a nonsensical questian.
The square hole could be large with a small round peg, and the round hole could be large with a small square peg, or visa versa.
