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!
