how do you fit a square peg in a round hole?

Answer 1

Of course you can ,people do it all the time.
You may have a hard time getting an answer, they keep them locked up.

Answer 2

Make sure the round hole is bigger than the square peg and use a big hammer.

Answer 3

It is possible.

But you need a special peg.

The special peg is a cylinder shape with a circle of diameter d and of height d.

Because both diameter and height are of dimensions d, when seen from a certain view, it will appear like a square. (think of viewing a round can food in such a way that you see a squarish side view).

Of course, it is the circular part that will go through the round hole, however, if you view it correctly, you will see a square going into the round hole.

Answer 4

my answer is a question

why would you want to put a square peg into a round hole?

Answer 5

Make sure the diameter of the hole = sqrt[2s^2] where s is the length of the sides of the squar peg.

Answer 6

A square peg whose diagonal is less than the diameter of the circular hole will fit easily. Or trust to the 'craziness' of quantum physics..........

Answer 7

two options....1 ) sheer force. of course then the peg becomes round.... 2) smaller square peg into a LARGER round hole.... you never said the size of the pegs had to be the same size... :^)

Answer 8

get a round hole that has a diameter equal to or larger than the perimeter of a square

Answer 9

1. Use a small square
2. Use a large hole
3. Make the hole bigger
4. Believe in quantum mechanics

Answer 10

put the peg on a lathe
