So obvious....? (Posted on 2003-02-19) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Why do you think manholes are round in shape?

(You need to think a little crooked for this )

I'm sorry. i guess the way it was worder confused due to the fact that you say that the manholes would fall through. But since u weren't it means u were talking about the lip formation. But then of course we could just make a lip that would have a larger angle for the manhole to rest on. Or just use different lip technology in general. E.g the edges of the street which would hold the manhole together could protrude outwards while manholes would be composed of 2 pieceswhich would interlock with this design.
