look for ≈ on your calculator, try 22/7, the answer may surprise you
Probably my favorite approximation of pi. With four symbols, you have like 18 digits.
Do you, though? Pi starts 3.141592, but 7/22 starts 3.142857, already wrong by the 4th digit.
Shit! You’re right! Guys… I uhh, I gotta go stop a satellite launch.
355/113 is my favorite
Using 7 chars to represent 8. Now that’s efficiency!
Nowhere did he state that the 18 digits would be correct
like 18 digits
The simile stands.
