it's a hole

It means somebody is being overly pedantic. But if your dot is meant to be a mathematical point, then it represents only a point in space without area, so that nothing smaller could exist. And if the dot is allowed area (let's say a polka dot) and the dot inside is indistinguishable from the larger dot, then the smaller one by definition disappears. And if the smaller dot is somehow distinguishable (say a different color), then isn't the larger dot now something of a dough-nut, in which case the smaller is really a dot within a dough-nut? Some folks are too picky, and have way too much time on their hands.

Dot's a tough one.
How can "A dot within a dot" not be a dot, because the question presumes it is a dot by labeling it a "dot within a dot". If it were something else, like a psuedodot, the question would read "a pseudodot within a dot is not a dot", and that would make more sense.
I recommend you go to the person who designed this question and punch them in the eye. When they ask why, tell them you thought it necessary to "dot the eyes" on this question.

I understand what he is saying, but acording to the dictionary it is possible. It just needs to be a dot and a smaller dot.
