I thought more on this question this morning and the variance in answers stems from the ambiguity in what is being considered a side. The answer changes if we are answering the question of sides as a function, a concept, or as a riddle (more philosophical.) Without a more precise definition of a side and methodology used to define the circle there is truly no way to answer this question definitively.

@DarkHeaven I agree with you. That's a very valid point. However can we have atleast 3 different definitions of a side and 3 different answers which are convincing enough ?

@Mohana No. 4 answers are the most convincing. 0, 1, 2, & ∞ (depending on how we define side and method used to describe our 2d circle.

@DarkHeaven I have a different take on this. 0 and infinity for me is never convincing. For 1 the definition of the side is not convincing. And regarding 2, that definition distorts the meaning completely.

@Mohana Fair enough. *giggles*
