Pi = 3.2

Happy Pi Day. Indiana once tried to define pi as 3.2. The bill almost passed.
Indiana once took up a bill to define pi as 3.2. It almost passed.
The Indiana state legislature once took up a bill to define pi as 3.2. It almost passed.

Taylor I. Record introduced what became known as Indiana Bill No. 246:"A bill for an act introducing a new mathematical truth and offered as a contribution to education to be used only by the State of Indiana free of cost by paying royalties whatever on the same."
The legislation was so little understood by the those considering it, it was initially referred to the House Committee on Canals.But mathematical certitude may not have been Indiana lawmakers' sole motivation.(MORE: 5th-grader seeks math problem-solving help from local Ohio police department) headtopics.com
Were the world to adopt Goodwin's copyrighted number, the thinking went, textbook publishers everywhere might be forced to pay him royalties -- except the state of Indiana, which would receive use of Goodwin's discovery free of charge.Perhaps this fiduciary enthusiasm explains why a committee (not the one on canals) favorably reported the bill. It then passed the Indiana House of Representatives on a unanimous vote, though it was unclear whether any of those who endorsed the bill's passage could explain what on earth it meant.
Meanwhile, according to"Pi: A Source Book," the effort was becoming the target of mockery in local and eventually national press."An Illinois circle or a circle originating in Ohio will find its proportions modified as soon as it lands on Indiana soil,"

ông 8: ông chồng tui bắt con tui nhớ tới 8 decimal digits, trong khi đó tui chỉ nhớ tới 3.14 thôi, mà tui ngồi im ru đâu có ý kiến, sợ con tui hỏi lại sao mẹ nhớ có 3.14 thôi cũng đâu có sao

3.14 còn đỡ chớ 3.2 là totally wrong

Tui ghét nhất cái vụ tự thay đổi rồi bắt mọi người khác phải thay đổi theo họ, ai không theo cái nói discriminate, etc.....
Giống như cái vụ gay/les, rồi tới cái vụ female vào mấy jobs mà chỉ có giành cho đàn ông hoặc cho những người gay/les lên nắm mấy cái high positions rồi thay đổi.

Bên Mỷ lúc nào cũng thích làm chuyện khác thường. Cả thể giới dùng metrics systems thì Mỷ tự chế cho mình different measurements như inches, miles, ounces quảrts and gallons.
Thật tình mà nói mình cũng 0 biết con số Pi đó là most critical in what kind of calculation. Architectures, building structures?

Gà, one simple example, area of a circle radius^2 * Pi
let say mình cần build cái cây kim để đâm vô tim, mổ tim, phổ phèo ... , cần precise measurement, không thì rách trúng bộ phận khác ,
you need Pi to calculate area of mũi kim

Chỉ cần convert từ metrics qua standard thôi. Nếu người nào chỉ dùng 3 decimal là kể như giữa con part này với con part mating đã đi ăn chuối rồi. 2 con parts ráp vô là không ăn khớp nói chi.

Bà Gà nói là tụi này là beaners nên không cần biết Pie. Pie là một cái bánh chỉ để ăn mà thôi ..
