  1. Haha, I thought your signature was part of the post, and that you were telling everyone not to freak out about the square pie.

  4. Pi r round, as you suggested, makes no mathematical sense whatsoever.
    The correct formula, pir^2, is verbalized as "pi are squared".
    You are pointing out the "error" in squared, but it's not referring to it's shape, it's just another way of saying r times r. The formula would still work if it was pi times r times r.
    Also, there is no mathematical formula that is the circle you stated in the OP.
    Thou hath been proven wrong. ;)

  5. Remember, McDonalds never gives you the ones to the left.
    So pies are never perfect circles. They are more of a mushed mess of food in dough. Unless it is a pizza.
  6. Why can't it just be pi r to the second power!?! :D
  7. it can also be said that way
    *error - can not like a sufficient amount*
  8. When in doubt ruin life and do this:
