COMMENT

"Yes - there are shapes of constant width other than the circle. No - you can't drill square holes. But saying this was not just an attention catcher. As the applet on the right illustrates, you can drill holes that are almost square - drilled holes whose border includes straight line segments!" - Bogomolny. The Java applet shows it in its three versions.
