Indeed. And in fact, here, a realistic question might be:
"Would you like me to draw a kitten using only 7 red lines that, where they cross, are perpendicular?"
Exactly my thought with the 7 lines, but I didn't think to make look like a kitten.
I think the idea here is that in the non-mathematical world, a curved line is still a line. You can draw a pretty dang good anything with curved lines. The problem might just be this sort of simple misunderstanding.
Sure but you could make a very crude approximation....
