Many thanks to all those that replied to the query regarding the geometric query I posted the other day. Of the 80 odd replies that I had, the majority seemed to favour parallelogram (which I had initially discounted owing to the fact that it does reflect about the centre point - obviously trying to be too clever?)Other options included rhomboid and trapezoid among others.
Other things established were that: The question was too advanced for a 10 year old / the question was not phrased well; Geometry is taught on Euclidean lines (pun intended) not hyperbolic but when checking this with the 10 year old, I was rewarded with a blank look; and for the esteemed contributor from Cardiff, my colleagues in Flintshire assure me that the word is indeed "Paralelogram" and the subject line is "Modelu Cymesurol".
Once again, many thanks. Next week, the comparative calm of probability............
Rob
