So here is a freak idea..... take 11/7.. and get 1.5714285, and then double it. Now the constant to pi... has lost it's transcendental flavor.

I dont get you sorry? 11/7 = 1.5714285714285714285714285714286. Again i state i am no mathematician, but even I can see clear patterns emerging. You dont get that with Pi. 3.142857142857....ad infinitum? A pattern or constant emerges, again not at all like Pi. So for the idiot that I am please, please explain your point.

run 22/7 and 11/7 ... and find the 571428 .. over and over and over again .........

Check your work...and then try 355/113 for the ad infin number...

There are a couple problems in math, the 'double a cube' and 'circle squared' problems since the beginning of time, that cannot be answered because of pi.... but a method can be found..... that was the point!

Just in case there were any mathematicians who like to finish the unaswered questions.

22/7 is only an approximation of pi, and is a rational number, losing the 'irrational charm' of pi.

so as even as pi is simply a ratio, then the requisite of how tight is is kept is none existent.

Meaning: I could say 22/7 and most of the world knows what that is, just like to write 3.14... each would know.....

but how many here knew 355/113 was the leveling point.......?

now go look at phi (1.618) and see the similar issue.....

It's a ratio... not a constant, unless the issue is, it's a' constant ratio' found in existence.... almost like the elements .... see em, use em, describe em..... but who knows why, they are..? :eek:
