Couldn’t this shape be an ellipsis:
X…
XXXX
X…
It touches all the edges. What am I missing?

#5

It touches only the left edge and the right edge, and contains an angle, so it is classified as a triangle. It does not touch the top edge and the bottom edge, so it is not classified as an ellipsis.

#6

Thanks, but I still do not understand. I see an ‘X’ in the first row so the shape touches the top edge of the image.

#7

True. But then there is still the angle thing.
Also it is probably better for the statement to clarify that the four corners of an ellipsis should not touch the edge.
