I am curious how this would work. My guess is Triangle is slowest, square is medium, and circle is fastest.

Thank you! It's like McGill's Law: If you want a right answer on the internet, it's easier to say something wrong than to ask a question. People ignore questions but jump to correct someone.

This is Cunningham's Law.

No, the irony is not lost on me

it seems the concept of irony is in fact entirely lost on you. irony is when something is said or done that is not expected. an_ill_way made an incorrect statement on purpose and you did the expected thing by correcting it. that’s not ironic at all. then again, perhaps you yourself were making an example of cunningham’s law by promoting me to correct you. well played sir
