Q: Wadaya get when you take the circumference of your jack-o-lantern and divide it by its diameter?

A: Pumpkin Pi

With the method of Buffon the value of Pi can be calculated by throwing needles (length l) on a parquet floor with where the planks have a width of b. The probability that a needle crosses two planks, with touching the border counting as a half needle, is 2l/(b pi)

The idea is that you use many needles of a reasonable measurement. With a 1000 needles you will might get it to the first decimal correct (3.1).

N. Gridgeman used 2 needles with a length of 78.5398 cm and planks with a width of 1 m. With one of the needles touching the border of a plank and the other not he got pi = (2 * 0.785398) / ( 1 * 1/2) = 3.141592. Not bad at all for two needles.

Question: What do we get when we take the object and order the rim by the diameter?
Answer: Pi in the sky by and by.
Why is everyone so obsessed with Pi? Because they need it to pass their goddamn primary school exams!

    This name has for ever facinated me – even from my school days. In the past it was just thhoughts / imiginations that kept me admiring this place.
    Now with expanding mass media, we are lucky to be able to see the wonder and beauty of Mauritius.
    I look forward to the day when I will be able to set foot on her soil. I wish to make friends ( 60 years+) with locals so that my visit can be more exciting. I am sure there are some kind souls out there who understand what I mean and they are most welcome to write to me. ( tsdain@yahoo.com). Thank you.
