Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words...

Or six thousand words! :)

The moral of the story on this one is don't stay locked into one way of thinking. Try new things!

Laura, thanks for the figures. However, doesn't Intersect mean to cut across? I got the 2,4 and 6 part but can't figure out how a triangle can intersect a circle at 1, 3 or 5 points. It seems that in your diagrams the triangle is just touching the circle and not intersecting it. Please explain.

Intersect doesn't have to mean 'cut through.' :)

Simple fix!
