And yes, this is actually a political test. Do I need to explain or can you guess?

This.Strictly mathematical speaking, it isn't a circle.
Then you should vote "No" and falsify the hypothesis of the linked article in the OP.This.
It's round. Perhaps even circular.
But it's not a circle.
Of course, mathematically speaking, you are correct, but this isn't a mathematical question.Strictly mathematical speaking, it isn't a circle.
Uh, yes it is. A definition of a circle comes from mathematics.Mathematically, you are correct, but this isn't a mathematical question.
Voted.Then you should vote "No" and falsify the hypothesis of the linked article in the OP.
Oh, probably not, but I thought the idea was interesting; I just don't know that it's true.Voted.
I don't think they did much study to verify this test.
Uh, no it ain't and since I'm asking the question, I'm the one who says what the question is. This isn't about the "definition", it's about the "perception". Anyway, you should vote "No" since that is what you truly think.Uh, yes it is. A definition of a circle comes from mathematics.
Kinda took the words out of my mouth. It isn't a math question, it's a perception question.Uh, no it ain't and since I'm asking the question, I'm the one who says what the question is. This isn't about the "definition", it's about the "perception". Anyway, you should vote "No" since that is what you truly think.
If?What are the consequences for the shape if it is not a True Circle?
If?
It still exists in the world of pixels but not in Plato's ideal world (I know I'm not putting that right, but I hope you catch my drift).
If someone were to ask you to circle the correct answer and you drew that around your choice, should that be rejected for not being a True Circle?
If in other sciences we should arrive at certainty without doubt, and truth without error, it behooves us to place the foundation of knowledge in mathematics.Of course, mathematically speaking, you are correct, but this isn't a mathematical question.
If you see a circle, chances are you’re liberal. That is, you tend to support the legalization of marijuana, same-sex marriage and aid for the homeless.
The problem is, they picked an example with an answer that is 100% provable with nothing more than a ruler, a pen, and paper. Math/geometry isn't liberal or conservative. It just is.As usual salon posts something moronic. But atleast they aren't promoting pedophiles this time.
I voted that it wasn't a circle.
And their description of what people who think it's a circle fits me nicely.
