Um ... Hate to disillusion you, Cycleguy, but 22 divided by 7 is *not* Pi (the mathematical constant of the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter). Twenty-two divided by seven is only a very inaccurate approximation of Pi.Cycleguy007 said:22/7.... for those mathematician Terbites! :-D
Doh! I think I had a similar post on Mar. 14! LOL!The Options Menu said:

Pi is = 3.14159265358 ... (and on and on)
22/7= 3.14285714285 ...
See what I mean? Way off.
On the other hand ...
Why let that get in the way of a great sexual reference (especially here)?
Okay, it's "PI" FOR EVERYBODY TODAY!!!!!! WHO'S WITH ME?!?!?![]()
Pi is the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter which is 3.14 ...fuji said:i thought pi was sqrt(10)?
Fark CG, I told you never to post those pics of my SO, ya bastardCycleguy007 said:I was obviously referring to the rational approximation when I said 22/7.
Having said that... I prefer hairless "pi"!
Meh. I can live with an error of 2/3rds of a percent. If I want to know how much water is in a cylindrical tank a half meter wide and a meter tall using sqrt(10) tells me it's a shade under 20 litres and using pi accurate to 20 decimals tells me it's a shade under 20 litres. Either way I guess I'll call it a 20 litre tank--my ability to fill the tank exactly to the brim, my ability to measure the tank properly, probably more error prone than a 2/3rds of a percent calculation error.Big Rig said:3.16 ....

It has to have an end ...... does it not?
