also: possibly coasters?

Though I guess I’d vote for pizza box, floppy disk, or card table over coasters

I still like my original guess of Sicilian pizza, but my second choice would be postage stamp.

I’m liking pizza box and floppy disk.

Window is not generally thought of to be flat and square. Sicilian pizza, while flat and square…well to be honest, I would never have thought of that myself and it makes me doubt it’d be on a 12-answer poll. Post-it notes…hmm…these days, not always square so twix may not have thought of those. All the ones on my desk are rectangular. Postage stamps aren’t square (close, but not square).

Not trying to knock my teammates - just trying to reason out our “best” answer 🙂

I’m thinking napkin. The kind you put on a table.

I dunno, guys. Napkins aren’t always square. The napkins at McDonalds aren’t square. Cloth napkins usually aren’t square.

Pizza boxes - like CDs, checkerboards, trivets, saltines and album covers are ALWAYS square.

So … pizza box? napkin? Are y’all headed toward consensus?

Well that’s 7 votes for pizza box and only 3 for napkin with 1 retraction.

So, if no one comes in soon making the vote against it, I say pizza box is the Blue team’s answer.

(ugh…I hate being a leader. Someone else come lead us right now. Just come say “I say our team says pizza box, twickster” and get it over with.)

I say ZipperJJ says pizza box and I would not object if it is chosen as Blue Team’s answer, twickster. 😃

This is our closest shot at actually getting points. WOW!
