The above is the default hr.
The teacher never talked about noshade or width or size, so I couldn't finish my assignment by Friday. But on Monday, Jul.12, I did a google search for this topic and the first hit was this tutorial page which gave me the info I needed, except it was old-style hanging container tags which I changed to be empty tags instead, and all tags and attribute names in upper case which I changed to lower case. It seems to say the default is shaded rule, but the above doesn't look shaded in IE, but it does in Netscape. (Answer to puzzle: Because it's too thin. See later where the width is 5 and the shaded rule really looks shaded in IE too.) Anyway, using that info as amended, the following is with noshade which is supposed to suppress 3-d rendering:
That seems to be only slightly darker. Now with noshade and size 10:
Hmm, in IE the ends of the rule are square, but in Netscape the ends are rounded!
That WebPage told about size, leaving only width to look up next. I did another Google search and found this other page of the same tutorial, which warns about the WIDTH attribute "use it, but don't rely on it". So anyway, here are widths of 80% and 45%:


The tutorial page says "By default the rule is centered", which seems to be true as you see above.
The final hr below is just size 5, everything else default i.e. shade and width 100%:
