here is a hint...keep in mind, you can take any shape or choose any shape you want..but it has to be symetrical. also, we are talking about a point....which theoretically can be as big as you or as small as a atom...it doesnt matter...the winner is not determine by choosing the choosing a certain symetrical shape...but it does depend on you going first or second...
Hmm. I guess I gotta spell it out for you, you seem to not even understand your own original post.
