Affine space, an Uncommon card
In mathematics, an affine space is a geometric structure that generalizes some of the properties of Euclidean spaces in such a way that these are independent of the concepts of distance and measure of angles, keeping only the properties related to parallelism and ratio of lengths for parallel line segments.

Affine space quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Affine space card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
Affine space is the ______ for affine geometry.
Answer
setting. Affine space is the setting for affine geometry. From the Affine space article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Affine space. Affine space 76 · Cyberspace 73 · Carbon fibers 69 · Industrialisation 65 ATK in WikiCards.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Chinese remainder theorem. Chinese remainder theorem 160,000 · Carbon fibers 110,000 · Affine space 74,000 · Cyberspace 56,000 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Affine space is the setting for affine geometry.
- As in Euclidean space, the fundamental objects in an affine space are called points, which can be thought of as locations in the space without any size or shape: zero-dimensional.
- Through any pair of points an infinite straight line can be drawn, a one-dimensional set of points, through any three points that are not collinear, a two-dimensional plane can be drawn, and, in general, through k + 1 points in general position, a k-dimensional flat or affine subspace can be drawn.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Affine space article was read about 74,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 51: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
How to get Affine space
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
