Well look at that. White chalk and octagon chalk isn't new after all.
An octagon has 8 sides, hexagon 6.
LOL. Thanks guys. It was a long day.
The old poster shows 8-sided chalk from the drawings.
***edit***
So does this mean the market is now open for a hexagon chalk style?

I told you it was a long day. I thought I was wrong but was right.
Sorry, I was late to the game.
But you did bring up a valid topic.
Haven't seen a chalk in a hexagon yet.
I'm sure some cue/tip brand can come up with one.
Look no further.... not hexagonal, but 8 sided chalk..... They roll away nicely too.... :grin-square:

That's what I mean.
From predator, to the old timey chalk above in the antique poster- octagons
Let's get a hexagon, and it may not roll away as good as the predator. :thumbup:
Look again, you are not counting the 2 short sides in addition to the 6. It's an octagon.

I counted the sides 6 times (or was it 8?) and there are still only 6 sides....or 8.

The confusion appears to be in the drawing, there are four long sides and four short sides. 8 sides in total but not all equal in length.
Definitely an octagon, but not an equilateral one.
Now the question is, was it the mechanical drawing artist that made the error or was the chalk actually made like this? To prevent roll-a-ways maybe? As predator chalk is an equilateral octagon which rolls easily with equal sides.
Hmmmmm.
Dr. Dave? Can we get a rollaway test??
I will pay you very well for the IXL and Hammer chalk if anyone has any to sell.
