spheroid, yeah. I think it means the form is not a "perfect" sphere. If you fit four of those arc segments together, it would be a circle, maybe 5 of them make a flattened spheroid.

they don't look to be 1/5 by the official logo; perhaps if you're very conservative with the extent of each arc segment... Confused

The 5 parts of the 5 rings together forming a "Master sixty" ring is a perfect teory, and in the mythology always have a history of Union making a
powerful world of things like that.

Can be fun but I see a analogy with the Planet Capitan, where the union
of the 5 rings ( Earth! Air! Fire! Water! Hearth! Go Planet !.... rsrsrs) brings
a Master Power.

Very Nice Bruce !

If I'm cutting them out right (apparently this game is why I'm not getting any marking or anything productive done in life Laughing

), the yellow and red segments are slightly longer than the other 3.

(edited 'cuz I said green instead of red at first)

when it talks about the 5 continents. does that mean that there is one part of the ring hidden on each continant (excluding Antactica)??

good work guys

Well, the rings in the emblem are supposed to represent the five inhabited continents (the Americas being counted as one and Antarctica being omitted), or originally, according to Wikipedia, "the five parts of the world which now are won over to Olympism and willing to accept healthy competition." So cutting out one arc from each ring is like taking part of the ring from each continent (though Wikipedia does state that "no continent is represented by any specific ring").

I did some math...

Assuming the bottom curves of the top row of rings exactly touch a line passing through the centers of the bottom row of rings...

And assuming that the .png file linked by thebruce is accurate as far as the width of the rings, and the spacing of the rings....

AND modeling the rings as a simple line midway between the outer edge and the inner edge of the ring itself...

I came up with an angle of 76 degrees for the ring segment. For comparison, a 1/4 segment would be 90 degrees, 1/5 is 72 degrees, and 1/6 is 60 degrees.

I don't really understand what we're seeking here but to add my two cents : Earth is a "flattened spheroid" (Our planet is not perfectly round)

EDIT : So "Por savi la planedon, vi devas trovi la planedon", "la planedon" is our homeworld.
