Friends who know the answer, please reply. Best if you can answer this question briefly, comprehensively, and logically. If you answer it right, I'll invite you to Microsoft Asia headquarters to be the CEO!

A round manhole cover can keep itself from falling through, which a square one can't do. It's also very convenient when installing and opening it, and round manhole covers use the least material.

Also, when workers do repairs, going up and down is very convenient, and a round shape can withstand a lot of pressure, so passing vehicles won't crush it. If it were square or rectangular, that would be quite dangerous.

Very well answered. I now officially inform you that you have been accepted by Microsoft Asia headquarters. No matter what you used to do, your job now is software architect!

All signs indicate that Microsoft is considering producing a new type of manhole cover to cover up system vulnerabilities.

Your line of thinking is excellent—use this special manhole cover to cover up those endlessly emerging vulnerabilities!

To wqzggg: The secret to getting rich is being stingy! To DD: It'd be great if MS used a self-repairing system!

If the manhole cover gets stolen, then there'll be a hole again, right? Good thing Xue Cun can catch thieves...
