This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

... only one choice is a triangle.

How is this difficult, other than if you are shape blind?

The correct choice is B.

If you pick A, B is also red, and C is also an irregular 4-gon. So A is not unlike either B or C.

If you pick C, A is also an irregular 4-gon, and B is also filled solid with color. So C is not unlike either A or B.

But if you pick B, while B does have elements in common with A and C...

(it shares 'red' with A, and 'solid color fill' with C)

... it is also unlike each of them singly, as well as both of them together, in that it is a triangle.

B is the only choice where 'is unlike the other two'... is true, in any sense.

It has a distinct property, not found in any member of the remainder set, nor shared by the remainder set as a group.

Welp.

I tap out, you're right lol.

Don't attempt set theory before breakfast, otherwise you end up making a fool of yourself as I have.

Hangry is not a useful state to approach logic from.
