Did you have pi memorized, or did you look it up first? I've managed to remember the 3.14 part since 10th grade, but anytime I want more precision (which, now that I think about it; has been NEVER) I look it up. :joke:

 

[Bob Denman]

I actually keep it memorized back to six decimal places...
It comes in REAL handy, for playing with engine displacement equations! nojoke :thumbup:

Just wait till you want to build a round house...:joke:

Um, shouldn't there be a "e" at the end..:roflblack:

Way back--(1970's) I had a mathematics professor that was using the University "super computer" to determine the actual #. At that time he said the number covered thousands of pages--and he was still running the program. I believe he was writing some kind of paper on the subject. A little to academic for me. :roflblack::roflblack:

Bob, you want engine displacement, .7854 X bore squared X stroke X number of cylinders. Forget Pi.

I always kind of liked "Pi times (r Squared), times the stroke of the engine, to give the cylinder's displacement...
I'll try yours on for size... Thanks! :thumbup:

 

[shelbydave]

For engine displacement, I just fill it with water, and then tip the engine over and pour it into a measuring cup.... I guess just doing the math might be easier on the back.

Now pi predates Albert E. so what is the relevance? Some one told me the date but that won't be until next year.

Does your calculator have a pi key?

 

[bruiser]

I knew the 3.14 but long forgot the rest, so yes, I had to look it up.

pi divided by 4 = .7854

Nope!

 

[Dan_Ashley]

Nope!

cheap too

I'm building a geodesic dome on top of the round house.............................................who wants a round house like everyone elses? .
