PI can be 3.12 or 3.45.... Please see the proof of variable PI: http://www.lecan.net/raremath.html Good luck Can Le --- On Mon, 4/27/09, Jeff Schwab wrote: From: Jeff Schwab Subject: Re: [QUIZ] Digits of Pi (#202) To: "ruby-talk ML" Date: Monday, April 27, 2009, 8:20 AM Robert Dober wrote: > 2009/4/25 Joel VanderWerf : >>> Btw, isn't every finite sequence of digits a subsequence of Pi's >>> representation in that base?
