Pi = 4 : Problem Archimedes?

Oh dear god. Don't get me started again....

And could someone please tell me whether I was wrong or right?!

I'm very insecure.

NOT!

I just can't remember what that was called. Something accelerating towards infinity, infinitely faster than infinity. (hic!)

Sorry.......

:)

 

I always respond to it with "Archimedes here. Yes, I do have a problem with it, *explanation about circumscribing and inscribing* you should view my work."

 

1/3 = .3333333333...

(3) 1/3 = (3) .3333333333...

3/3 = .9999999999...

1 = .9999999999...

:surprised

I have earned a place in the Math Hall of Fame! Btw, I, too, would have a problem if my name was Archimedes; what kind of parent names his kid Archimedes!?

 

The same thing can be done by greatest integer function too...




WHAT!!!
THIS ISN'T THE MATH SECTION??

 

At least they did not name him Pi.

 

I suspect that by using appropriate geometrical shapes and a similar limiting argument, you could prove the circumference to be any real number greater than or equal to pi and even prove that the circumference is infinite.

 

This reminds me of the following logic:

"So,
If she weighs the same as a duck,
then she's made of wood,
and therefore,
A WITCH!"

(Also reminds me of most political logic)

 

Hey, now! That's the number that I put on my baseball jersey.

 

What I don't understand is how does it prove Pi = 4!. I didn't get the factorial part.

 

I always round Pi down to 3.

 

it's part of the trolling

it's saying that pi = 4, not pi = 4!

 

That is one loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong baseball jersey...

 

What can I say? I used to be fat.

 

Infinitesimally fat?

 

His blubber was a fractal. :X

 

I'll have you know, you young whippersnappers, that I ballooned up to 132 lbs. when I was playing ball. That extra 5 lbs. above my off-season weight was pure muscle.

 

man I hope you just got trolled...
