I guess that means if you show more than one circle you lose.


As long the secondary circles aren't key elements, you'll be fine :p

Who had the stupid idea of allowing people to submit their photos onto a chat site like this anyhow? From now on I'll vote down every photo which challenges my unwillingness to think creatively.

Hmmmmm.

I think there's a thread about you here somewhere.

I'm sure louddog was joking


That's what I was thinking as well


Anyone know how to get pinholes out of a monitor screen?


Get some of that stuff they use on windshields for cars...OR... redneck-it and just fill them in with crazy glue. Try not to glue together your fingers...

I gave points for all examples of circular reasoning and deducted points for all examples of linear thinking... jejejeĆ¢„Ā¢

Half-Full or Half-Empty is the question here! Score it like you see it! No one can seem to realize mine is a circle, dang-it!

I was wondering how voters felt about objects that are understood to be circles (frisbee, clock-face, orange slice, etc) but are photographed at an angle. The object then represents an oval or ellipse in the photo, not a cirlce. Should we be picky about this?


a CIRCLE is anything a DPChallenger member think it is. I think the weekly challenge themes no longer functions and is there for the sake of being there.

Heesh... What is a circle? Now I've heard it all... Who cares what angle it was shot at. It's a freakin' circle...

Oh, nobody took a long exposure night shot of these freaky circles!

This is so bizarre! What the heck is the purpose of something so insane??

If a traffic cop stops you and suspects you've been drinkinh, instead of administering breath test, they send you here and let you drive through it. If you do, there is a reasonable chance that you haven't been drinking that time.

Alternatively, it was designed by a disgruntled engineer that had gotten in trouble with the in-laws that live in that blind cul-de-sac on the right.

Actually, there's a weird sort of logic to it. Don't ask me to explain it though, it makes my head hurt...

well the photo is grainy and poorly focused. fit the challenge. the red car looks badly out of detail Oh, and by the way, since your title of the photo has the word "circle" on it, I'm giving you a vote of 10. (ROTFLOL)

I have to ask, what's the point of the little circles at the opening of each branch?
07/12/2005 09:35:14 PM · #45
Joke aside, this is a good solution to high-traffic roundabouts. The double-circle, where they spin in opposite directions (achieved with 5 minor circles) allows you to get from any branch to any other branch to the right of it without having to take a full trip around the outer circle. Just go to inner one, and turn right...

Okay, enough starring at it and I think I get the logic behind it... Inner and outer circle goes opposite direction.

There ya go... that's what I didn't want to figure out how to explain...
