3.) AB is parallel to CD

  BC is parallel to DE

Aren't your symbols saying they are perpendicular?

2.)  A square is like 32 in size if a circle is like about 25.
This is true for length of lines and for area.
So since 32 and 25 is bigger than 30 and 25, then
the squares WIN and squares use more ink.

2.) The area and lines comparison
might be the same because you
can draw concentric circles and
concentric squares inside one
another until you fill up the shapes.
Sounds like some kind of thing
Mikau would have said in this is cool.
