what type of mutant cube are you dealing with that has 16 of anything???

I concede that an octagonal pyramid has 9 faces and 9 vertices
thereās still no way to get a pyramid with 9 edges because the number of edges is always even

Luckyās reasoning was as follows:
A circle is a solution because 7-(4+3) = 0 (interpreting the āandā as a plus), and a circle has zero edges.
An oval is a solution because the zero in the above equation looks like an oval.
A heart is a solution because 7-4 and triangle => 3 and triangle => <3, or a heart.
A star is a solution because i have no fucking clue, someone help me with this.
However:
- The solution set is incomplete because there are figures that fit the āzero edges/sidesā criterion that are not included in the problem set (a point, a sphere).
- The solution set is incorrect because a circle does not have zero edges, or sides.
I wholeheartedly agree with this statement:

I think that actually in math circles are best treated as infinite-sided polygons
not saying that they necessarily āareā because the word āisā is shaky in mathematical grounds
but for proofs of areas and circumference and such you usually take the circle to be the limit of a series of polygons with number of sides increasing to infinity
regardless, it has more use cases than taking a limit of polygons with number of sides decreasing to zero because that doesnāt really make sense

Thereās only one 2D āshapeā with zero sides which is a point, speaking on mathematical terms
A point really isnt a shape tbh
Those words mean nothing to me so im still gonna say a point isnt a shape
In my experience, the word āsideā is extremely poorly defined because it really isnāt ever used outside of your standard polygons, where the definition doesnāt need to be well defined?
Like, all the geometric reasons youād use it disappear when you introduce curvy shapes because your area formulas and angle formulas go out the window for obvious reasons
and most topological use cases require some sort of definition of a vertex to count the number of edges, which is fair enough
the problem is that itās inherently ambiguous where or whether a circle has any vertices without an explicit definition of such
If anything, you can topologically rule out the circle having 0 vertices because the number of vertices of any simple closed polygon is equal to the number of edges, and because it exists it must have more than 0 vertices and 0 edges
Also if a circle has zero sides, that naturally raises the question about which shapes have 1 side or 2 sides
Does a line segment have 1 side? If so, does a semicircle have 1 side? Does an arc comprising 80% of a circle have 1 side? 99%? Taking the limit as the arc percentage goes to 100%?
