Why the staircase approximation doesn't make pi equal 4

[Drakkith]

Pi does = 4. Don't you understand relativity? Curvature affects the metric and makes distances seam shorter. Sure a circle appears to be 3.14... because the circle is experiencing curvature. In the frame of reference of the square, pi is 4.

I hope this is a joke lol.

It's sort of interesting. The perimeter of a digital circle is 8r, and the surface area is approximately 6pir^2.

Btw, I, too, would have a problem if my name was Archimedes; what kind of parent names his kid Archimedes!?

Continuing the necro spirit

Archimedes in ancient Greek translates into "the one who gives leading advice"
