I had a hard time calculating circles until I realized that pi is basically 3.

My preference of pi is definitely three, apple, banana cream and anything peanut butter.

No,not “basically” 3. With that attitude a nuclear missile launched from North Dakota and aimed at Beijing would land in San Francisco...which might not be a bad thing! ;-)

Who can recite the most digits of pi...
The world champion is Akira Haraguchi, who in 2006 recited 100,000 digits of pi from memory at a public event near Tokyo.
It took him 16hrs 30mins. This feat makes him the master pi-man, even though the Guinness Book of records has not validated his record.
And in America were discussing racism in mathematics. We’re so screwed.

I had a hard time calculating circles until I realized that pi is basically 3.I don't recall if it was true, or possibly from a Heinlein story, where some idiot legislator tried to pass a law stating that pi == 3.
It's been years, does anyone else remember that?
