0 Guest Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Does this have to do with geometry? I BARELY passed Geometry class! I think it was a pity-pass at 61%! So, I am guessing: A circle? A radius? A diameter? An equation? A geometric theorem? An arc? An angle? A segment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Guest
In celebration of my tenth riddle on the Den, I have taken a five day vacation to think of a nice hard one.
jk, jk... I only spent today on it, but I did take the vacation.
Anyway, here's a nice hard one (i hope...i thought my last one was pretty good
)
Now for the riddle, here you go:
The chords that are played by me...
Hard you say? Try it! It's a piece of cake!
What's that? You don't like cake?
Okay then, how about a doughnut? Or a piece of pie?
Okay, whatever, back to me.
About me are hundreds of inscriptions
On my walls those writings are visible
See more than one? Well, a genius like you
could take one glance and tell me all about me
But that's not what I'm asking
What do I have to do with?
Well, radiation...a little...
Ditto for arcades
Now, a question for you...
What am I?
