When in front of you,

it’s out of view.

Yet you'll know if it's fast or slow,

and how the movement began - high or low.

Playful and happy, bitter and sad,

it can be either good or bad.

Which means you like it soft or hard

and rare is he with no regard.

Every piece has peaks and lows

even if missing the valleys and snows.

And if it has a key,

not uncommon that would be.

45°

 

I'm tempted to accept that answer. Let me go to the judges...

 

They say that is correct. :earth:

 

I was thinking "|x|" as in y=|x|, but plotting that in polar coordinates is 45 degrees or pi/4 radians - so your answer is equivalent to mine only in different coordinates. Very cool.

Except that y=|x| is mirrored over the x-axis and your graph thus only represents the funtion for x>0

Actually, I agree with Jay that x>0 would be the simplest three character solution since we don't have enough information to actually know the angle of the vector. It is assumptive for me to suggest it is 45 deg. based on your simple sketch.

 

I shall relinquish my title. :hihi:

 

Good job Jay-qu. :hihi:

Im not saying x>0 describes it (because it doesnt give much of a description at all..), there is nothing wrong with what you said, I was only pointing out that what modest intended to model whas infact incorrect.
