Don't Quote MeŽ Discovers "Pentaphobia" |

April 29, 2005 London, ON Canada Whether accidental or genuine, it seems people have a difficult time identifying pentagons, often referring to them as hexagons, polygons or "that five-sided shape" instead. As a result, Wiggles 3D, creator of the Don't Quote Me® brand of board games has dubbed this phenomenon "pentaphobia". To help ease any fears, and in preparation for May 5, 2005 (the fifth day of the fifth month of 2005), an extra special day for the number five, we are celebrating the best of "fives" in our special collection of 25 quotes grouped in five great themes. Here are a few samples: "The secret of managing a club is to keep the five guys who hate you from the five who are undecided." --Casey Stengel "A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer." --Ralph Waldo Emerson "Find a job you like and you add five days to every week." --H. Jackson Brown Jr. Don't succumb to 'pentaphobia'! Don't call them hexagons or polygons. Be brave, recognize the power of five - the pentagon, and enjoy the Best of Five quote list at www.dontquoteme.com/events/TheBestOfFive.html. Why is this so important at Don't Quote Me®? At Don't Quote Me® the number five is our favorite number, and the pentagon our favorite shape. In fact, all Don't Quote Me® games feature pentagon cards. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, this five-sided shape allows Don't Quote Me® to pack an extraordinary amount of information on each game card. It's one reason Don't Quote Me® board games are known for being informative and content-rich. Every quote always includes hints and multiple choice options to help players succeed, as well as a biography of the speaker and interesting facts about the quote. Plus, the games have five categories that explore the most memorable lines of our times.
