Not every middle lineEqual halves are not matching halves.A rectangle's corner-to-corner line fails.
How manyNone, one, several, or never-ending.A square has 4. A circle never stops.
Symmetry around usLetters fall into four groups.H folds both ways. F folds neither.
TurningOrder counts the matching turns in a full circle.A square's order is 4.
Complete itEach missing square sits the same distance the other side.7 squares plus their 7 partners make 14.
