3.1416 IS an acceptable optimization good for most all calculations except for moon shots.

But then NASA isn’t capable of going there now and who plays euchre anymore?

Back in the Dark Ages - i.e. the early 60's - I used to play Euchre. I've long forgotten how to play.

Of course, there is always Spades, where I often shot the moon with great delight.

Now, if I could just find a couple of players!

I thought that pi was normally rounded to 3.1416 rather than 3.1415. Isn't the next decimal a 9, i.e., 3.14159?

Ace, Ace’s Dad, Ace’s Sister, and Ace’s Nephew had a rousing Eucre game today, with a complete tie all around! It’s a Michigan thing, I think!
