    I'm going to think about that one a bit.

    I'm a bit puzzled too, but I think as you get closer and closer to infinity on the small corners, you take out the corners that are giving you the extra length.

    Here's a way to see if Pi = 4 or 3.141592654 like is traditionally held.


    Take the example above and cut out 4" of string to make the square shown. Now wrap the string around the circle. Do you have any string left over?


    Or, cut just enough string to trace the circle. It should be about 3/4" of the length of the other.

    I think the solution is that, as you approach infinity, the vertical and horizontal surfaces actually have no length at all. (Maybe that's what you said above... my head hurts.)

    Or mathematically, the area of a square is the square of any side or S^2; 1^2=1, in this case.

    The area of a circle is pi x radius, squared. The radius is 0.5. Squared, that's 0.25. Multiplied by pi, that's 0.785.

    If the area of the square was equal to the area of the circle, those numbers would be equal. :)

    My head really does hurt... almost migraine level, so I come here to see something funny and youz guyz are arguing about math -- It's enough to make my head hurt!

    Oh, it already did... now it's worse!
