That thing totally has 6 sides. Hexagon for sure. Just show them that by tracing it out. Then they have to present some kind of argument just as good or better to show you're wrong haha. Just defend yourself next time for why you're right. If someone just says you're wrong without giving any reason, they could easily be guessing for all you know! =P
