Does PI ‘equal’ ANYTHING?

It doesn’t equal many more things than it does, no?

Would you care to take a stab at the question?

Arguing with fence posts is futile, FRiend Elsie. And by the way, the ratio which pi represents changes with changes in gravity, so the ratio is an ideal not an actual 'constant' ... pi on the sun is different than on the earth since the surface of the sun if taken uniformly (already it's an averaging process don'tchaknow) is smaller than the volume to radius ideal. Feynman called it the 'excess radius' in his Physics lectures. Now I think I'll have some mince pie ... ;^)
