Try this: Take the first 3 odd numbers: 1 3 5
Double them: 1 1 3 3 5 5
Draw a line: 1 1 3 | 3 5 5
Divide: 355/113...."almost" Pi!

It is the closest rational approximation to pi with both numerator and denominator less than 1,000. It is so accurate you could use it for "pi" for the rest of your life and never have an appreciable error. In fact, I sometimes put it in my computer programs--to perplex anyone examining the code in the future!

That's cool! I've always used 22/7, but knew it wasn't the best approximation to pi. You impressed my son! He made me do it on the calculator right away, lol. He's been learning to program in Java, so I bet he'll use that if the opportunity arises.

We'd love more, but only if you have the time and don't mind. I hate to bother you.

Thanks so much!!
