The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A simple example of a pair of skew lines is the pair of lines through opposite edges of a regular tetrahedron.
- Two lines that both lie in the same plane must either cross each other or be parallel, so skew lines can exist only in three or more dimensions.
- Two lines are skew if and only if they are not coplanar.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Skew lines article was read about 17,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 57 and blocks with 36: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
