The principle of the triangular taste test was extended by increasing the size of the polygon, i.e., the number of samples presented simultaneously. Statistically significant differences between two samples could then be detected by smaller numbers of assessors. Further extension of the principle permits differences to be detected amongst three or four samples. A worked example is given.
