Yep. Good answer :) .

Another one:

Why is a manhole cover round and not square?
Can you think of two reasons?

1. Transporting round manhole covers is easier, becuase they can be rolled.

2. And most important, because the holes are round.
:D

1 is correct
2- Square covers, square holes- what would happen?

Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2005 2:55 am

Maybe the covers would fall through the holes?

does it have anything to do with salt? i think i remember that there where some question involving eggs that had salt as an solution(sp?)...

like what if you put salt under where your egg shall spin, and the salt kinda "holds" the egg in place :confused: :p
