Prince in Hawaii Book.

Prince in Hawaii Book.

I just have a question, what do you call the round purple case that it comes in? Is there a specific name for that?

Because U can't call it a round box. cool I'm serious too...Maybe there is a legitimate name. Is there?

I'm probably wrong but I think it was a hat box or a keepsake box or something like that.

If a 6-sided square is called a box...a 3-sided circle with depth should be named.

Even with geometry, I'm not sure they have a term. Maybe there is a term in another language.

Maybe spherix would make sense. cool

Maybe spherix sounds too global.

Possibly cylindrix.

The X seems to add the lid for enclosure.

The container the book comes in is beautiful, it just isn't a box. cool

Cylindrox. Maybe we need the O.

If it's a triangle with depth and a lid, it could be called a Triax.

Maybe nobody cares about this, however, if someone told U to close your eyes and picture the words I say...

I could say-cat, you'd picture a cat.
I could say-car, you'd picture a car.
If I said-box, you would not picture the cylindrox Prince's book is in.

I'm sure this issue must be resolved. cool

I have reached a reasonable conclusion.

If a cylinder with a lid is wider than it is deep, it should be called a "Cylindrox," such as "Prince in Hawaii's, cylindrox."

If a cylinder with a lid is deeper than it is wide, such as a "Pringles container," is should be called a "Cylindrix."

Now that this issue is resolved, I feel it is Langeblue's responsibility to contact the "Geometric Metamorphic Society," to have this concern presented for Encyclopedic review. Thank U 4 Your Time, Sincerely, Tame.

Prince has a picture book from Hawaii that came in a cylinder shaped container with a lid that other's call a keepsake box. This container also included incense and artificial flower petals. It is adorable.

I was just trying to think outside of the box and into the Cylindrixy'z. cool

Does the cylindrox contain just the book and the incences or something else? Are the pictures in it good?
