Happy "PI Day" Everyone

Mathematicians have ways of tracking this. 22/7 is the best rational approximation to pi, all the way until you get to 355/113 (alluded to in my previous post).

I settled for pizza, but would have gotten a fruit pie slice for dessert if the pizza shop had them for sale.

  No doubt there are much more elegant ways that what I used, to make this determination.  Mine was a quick, crude, brute-force method, setting up an Excel sheet to calculate every possible permutation, and then having it highlight any results that were less than 0.002 away from π, of which it found only one.

Found the above in a quick search.

22/7 is a better approximation than 3.14 (although not a lot better).

I think I’d have to stab it more times than that. 0.043 Pi seems like a pretty big mouthful.

You too, k9?

2πr better than one.
