Exactly. I.e.:

3 dots

He's totally just studying the way we go "Wtf that doesn't make sense". ;o

Let's socially analyze the way he analyzes us!

But, that would be too obvious. He's trying to socially analyze the way we analyze him analyzing us.

I'm onto you.

Just in case this is relevant for your analysis, Corbo, I wouldn't post in a topic that's about the question "How many dots in a triangle?" because it doesn't make sense.

All three points must be vertexes or you haven't defined a unique triangle.

So you can't define a triangle by a vertex, and two of the centers (orthocenter, incenter, centroid, etc)?

Centers of what?
Maybe I'm mistaking what you're saying entirely, but my response would be that, by definition, the three tips of a triangle simply are vertices. They represent the intersection of two lines which are the sides of the triangle.

Oh, I was thinking of three points on the edge

Yes, you probably can. Off the top of my head, centroid and two vertexes is definitely enough. Define some other points and yeah, it should work.

Maybe Corbo is a criminal!

So one person thought of it as dots in the literal words "in a triangle?"

Everyone else was like "No man , he didn't specify the vertices" and some are debating that.

If we all stick to one idea (even better if we don't agree with that idea) we can mess up(or "taint") corbo's analysis right? I'm not some guinea pig who's emotions can be toyed with.

Man that troll pic where this guy mentions a word and everyone freaks out into a discussion would work so well here. Anyone got that pic btw?

...Corbo literally means what he said... He just wants to know how many points are there in a triangle.

Would corbo lie to us?! Gasp!!

You scared me, DTBK .

He said dots, not points, Phobos.

He could mean who is thinking what KIND of triangle? some people could say a tetrahedron (3d triangle) has 4 dots and a regular triangle with 3 dots.

But since i am thinking of both examples and cannot vote both I choose not to vote.

"3d triangle"?
That's a dodecangle. 4(points)*3(lineseach) = 12. D:

3D triangle? Never heard of such thing.
A triangle is a plane.

Hes totally doing 1984 ministry of love on us.

I vote 0 or infinity or 3 or 4.

Well, when you say points define something, usually it means the figure goes through them (i.e. two points define a line, 3 a plane, etc.)

Stupid question is stupid.

It's obviously a study to see what people come up with when given nonsense as a question.
