Four quarters make a…

Quarter window

I was walking down the road the other day with my 7 year old daughter. The houses on this particular street had windows in the shape of a quarter circle. Where each of the terraced houses joined, the windows were reflected, effectively making a half circle.

My daughter mentioned this and said she liked the shape. We usually have fun chats about things we see so I casually asked “what shape would four quarters make?”.

Of course, she was obviously going to say ‘a circle, daddy’ and I would feel rightfully smug at my well educated daughter. Her answer was “Well, it depends how you arranged them… it can make a sort of lumpy line like a dragon’s back”.

Never underestimate a 7 year old!
