quick test

On another thread I've talked about how a group of people have acussed me of having a

problem. I think it is actually them that have a problem (in particular groupthink -

this is group delusion/madness). A clinical psychologist has agreed with me that I'm correct and that it's these people are being irrational.

Wont go into the details...but I think I now have a clear way proving they are actually

bonkers by getting unbiased people to answers the following straightforward question - here is an image: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/81787406/SAM.jpg - could people tell me whether the purely white region is a square or rectangle? It might seem an obvious question and bit of a strange but your responses will help. Thanks.

A rectangle. Not a very regular rectangle.

Hope this is helpful, and would appreciate knowing what's the result of this, if you feel like explaining sometime.

Thanks. I think it is a 1X(0.5)rectangle. Might not be a perfect rectangle cus the object is slanted sideways a bit and corners are curved. They are trying to make out it is a square.

There are other photoes/things I think they are completely wrong about. I think the've lost the plot.

I cant really go into the context.

The rectangle is twice as long as it is wide isn't it?

Looks quite rectangular, if my options are "square" and "rectangle." However, they may be insisting it's square so that you waste your time to prove it's not.
