Mathematicians use Mossberg 500 and aluminum plate to estimate Pi.

They conclude it's 3.13, BTW.

But its 3.14159.....and so on. Not 3.13.

Hence the word "estimate." I'm from NWI and I understood "estimate."

If it's truly a zombie apocalypse, wouldn't it be easier to just remember the approx. number than waste those shotgun rounds?

They did this in Canada, you have to factor in the exchange rate.

 

[Manatee]

And in Montreal, so you have to consider that the French Canadians weren't interested in pi at all.

I think the eggheads were just looking for an excuse to shoot stuff.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

This would be a good experiment for "It's Effin' Science"... It's Effin' Science - G4tv.com

 

[Grizhicks]

just remember; it's not pi(r)2, but:

pie R round

cornbread R square

 

[Jharbeson]

I teach geometry. I might have to share this with a few of my students whom I know appreciate guns and hunting.

 

[Doug B]

My favorite math joke.....

why did the chicken cross the Möbius strip? To get to the same side. Ha!

 

[Redtbird]

I like that one!

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

I like doing the experiment for expermiment's sake...

But seriously - let's not even pretend to make this some kind of "post apocalyptic Oh My Gosh I MUST Know What The Approximation Of Pi Is RIGHT NOW" goofy crap.

 

[Steve B]

If I'm using a shotgun to find Pi, it will be apple, cherry or maybe peach.

 

[CathyInBlue]

Mmmm. Peach pie.

Mmmm. Mossberg.

 

[Steve B]

Marrie Calender + Mossberg = get away from my pie!!!

I'm Norther of you.

What is this... "estimate" you speak of?

Down here in Northtucky we call it Guesstimate.
