if you do, hold down the ALT key then press (on your numberpad) 227 and there you have π!

Abjure your false gods, and bow before ♠ !

...pictures (alt code graphics) don't come out right on chess.com.  They look better in notepad.

I think Tau is superior. Whereas 2 pi radians equal 360 degrees, 1 tau radians equal 360. That said, pi is an astounding feat of discovery and a testement to human curiosity.

I just love pi...

Is it any wonder that some wish to remain completely anonymous? Who is going to stand idly as a parade of clowns walks all over me for reasons they can only explain after consultation with their crystal ball? Does any of this sound insulting? Considering i only tell it like it is. To attack a person in such a manner as to leave them with no defense. For nothing. What would be a good word for that? Handing them a reputation fabricated of pure lies and expecting them to act graciously about it. Does that sound rational? "I dont know you. But i can already tell that you are; --let me see,where is my laundry list". Its a witchhunt. What? A new member joins and a reputation is superimposed based completely on assumptions and presupposition? The shadow of judgment cast over him by a hundred people simultaneously. -With but a paragraph of words all of them left completely and totally outshined.

Nobody speaks out in opposition..Because nobody's got the balls!

In a prior post, I identified a set of ideological premises as superordinate constructions that maintain the rhetorical context in which KingCactus is able to turn us into easy prey for what I call possession-obsessed adolescents. I will now elaborate on three of his most nasty premises:

  1. The media should "create" news rather than report it.
  2. Five-crystal orgone generators can eliminate mind-control energies that are being radiated from secret, underground, government facilities.
  3. Anyone who dares to enlighten the mind of Man and improve him as a rational, moral, and social being can expect to suffer hair loss and tooth decay as a result.

Here's a quick review: He has a stout belief in astrology, the stars representing the twinkling penumbra of KingCactus's incandescent belief in Comstockism. Thanks to KingCactus, I'm now suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome. This position, in large part, parallels civil libertarianism but with particular emphasis on the fact that KingCactus's behavior might be different if he were told that addlepated fainéantism is widespread and growing stronger as it permeates school systems, universities, and the media. Of course, as far as KingCactus is concerned, this fact will fall into the category of, "My mind is made up; don't confuse me with the facts." That's why I'm telling you that it's honestly astounding that he has found a way to work the words "intercommunicability" and "counterintelligence" into his doctrines. However, you may find it even more astounding that there's only one true drama queen around here, and he's the one wearing the crown.

Yeah, by facts im guessing you mean words that you heard from somewhere. And how would that constitute a fact exactly? And how could one possible know the facts about a given thing? Without having been there to have witnessed the events for themselves? Events that took place outside of chess.com. I think that the last portion of the overpopulation thread. Should make it clear enough for the logic of a ten year old child. Its stands to reason that a grown man could put it together. You have no clue of the event to which these matters pertain. The reality is,that one can only assume to know what happen. There is no question as to whether rumors are being spread about me intentionally. The person responsible has made no effort to hide it from me. So do me a favor friend and spare me. Because i have already had quite enough. Its pretty obvious that the "facts" of which you speak. Are known not even to your self. If such facts exist. Then certainly they may be explained and demonstrated. Lets hear the facts then shall we? Tell me.

I like this one from the bible: 1 Kings, 7:23

The sea was then cast; it was made with a circular rim, and measured ten cubits across, five in height, and thirty in circumference.

Clearly putting to rest all this nonsense of the extra digits in Pi past the decimal point. 

Pi = 3.

Q.E.D.

A cubit was the length of the forearm in biblical times I believe. If you and i were to build an ark. I wonder who's could hold more animals?

Not sure, but imagine how many you have to start off with if you have predators. if you have a couple of lions and tigers, then add 40 more gazelles per cat. 

The boat should be considerably lighter by the end of the journey. That is, if you bring shovels to take out all the dung.

Sounds reasonable enough to me.Smile

They tipped it all over the side in one go, and called it America.

Meanwhile and on topic:

In rhymes unapt the great

Immortal Syracusan rivaled nevermore

Who in his wondrous lore

@ Ubik42 : there is no possibility for " Q.E.D. ", or the proof of your argument, because your argument that pi should be 3 is not correct.    Use 3,141593 or use 22/7 what is only (approx.) 0,04 percent higher than pi.      And the measurement of the ten cubits diameter apparently is rounded off upwards to 10, otherwise the 30 cubits measuring-tape could not span the whole sea (and that is the original text, a " measuring-tape " ).

Irontiger

Yeah, obviously pi is not equal to 3.

Everyone knows since the Indiana Pi bill that it is equal to 3.2.

RomyGer

And that is what I want to know now : what is the Indiana Pi Bill ?  And why 3,2 ?  Thanks !
