Five ringers

Two manhole covers, both with five segmented rings and a center, were seen in the street beneath our feet.
 
eoght segmenst per ring manhole cover
8x8x8x8x8 with raised center

That manhole cover has 8 x 8 x 8 x 8 x 8 segments per ring, label with a raised center, and with vent holes in the second ring.
 
 
 
12 and 6 segments per ring manhole cover
12x12x12x6x6 and depressed center

 
This manhole cover has 12 x 12 x 12 x 6 x 6 segments per ring and a depressed center. 

The five rings make them look similar, but counting the segments per ring shows them to be different.

  1. You do have to look closely to see that they are different!
