She is trying to complete an xtra credit project.  She is , from my understanding, looking for a graph that would trick you.  I guess she is saying if you stretch the graph vs. keeping it basically a box type graph.  Do you see what I am saying?  Can you help me or point me to where I could print something out.  I pretty much do not know what I am looking for. </SPAN>\n" );
