Procedure
In this challenge, there are 6 items on the table to use in your solution
3 electric ring terminals and 3 cardboard shapes (a circle, a square and a triangle).

Your challenge is to arrange one or more ring terminals with one of the 3 shapes on the table so as to represent something, and then say what it is.
There are 35 tokens in front of you. Before making a response, you will place a token in the container on the table.
