Are you sure it's not 3.1417 times, just to make it a nice, round number? :D

That number almost makes me hungry - almost :wink:
Anyone for a slice of Pie? :D Just trying to prove I'm keeping up :P


Well, you should have noticed that it is not pi to the displayed number of figures! :)

"almost" ;)

You're making me hungry again :D

I know it's really Pi trackgalvis but that wouldn't make much sense, so I said Pie instead.

Maybe if we cut 355 pies into 113 slices it would make more sense. ;)

Is this going to turn into a circular argument? :P

we may be old and unwilling to adapt to new ideas, or we could have a better idea, as we go through life,on what is safe and what is dangerous. Young drivers may be the best at absorbing new ideas but it doesn't stop them having the most serious accidents.
