The game is simple. Give me the right answer to the question. These will be brain teasers, but this first one is easy.

Why are manhole covers round?
I do hope those circles on the road that lead to the sewers are called manholes. Otherwise, I've been lied to for many years of my life.

You do know what a manhole cover is, right? You know, those little metal circles on the street?

Well, i'm giving the major hint, because i know that anybody that doesn't read manga won't get the next one. Hehe.

Aj got a point, but not an answer. Here's the hint. Sure, it can be the same shape as the hole, but imagine if it were a square. And thus, the reason why it's a circle.

Nope. Is it really that hard? it has to do with the cover falling.

To make it more aerodynamic?

So it doesn't get stuck in the shaft?

So the corners don't hurt anything if it falls?

Circles are cooler?

Because the shaft is round and they want it to fall all the way down if it slips?

Because no matter what you do you can't make a round manhole cover fall into the manhole. If it was square and you dropped at at just the right angle, it would fall in????
