Reply to comment by westcal98 in TIL Colorado is actually a hexahectaenneacontakaiheptagon, meaning it has 697 sides. by Dearfield

you don't have to include 'kai' in -gon names, it should be: hexahectaenneacontaheptagon, it's way simpler to pronounce now, isn't?

697-gon is way easier to pronounce, though.

This is how my high school geometry teacher told us to refer to any polygons where the number of sides is greater than 12. It’s easier to remember for sure!
