Open or Closed? (Posted on 2003-03-26) Difficulty: 2 of 5
When It's open, It's closed, but when It's closed, It's open.

What is It?

A circle (or any other shape, for that matter)? When the shape is closed, it has no endpoints and could be considered an open set of points. But when the shape is open or 'broken,' it has two included endpoints, which are then a closed set of points.

Yeah, it's a stretch...
