Default Campain to make Pi reasonable again

tune of troll, troll, troll your boat plays softly in background

Simply because the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its' diameter
is *not* three. A rough approximation is
3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375 10. I suppose I could go
on as I did memorize it to 110 places during a study hall in high school,
but a google search will turn up the number to a far higher number of
digits, if necessary. Usually 4 or 5 places is sufficient.

Yep, nothing like simplicity. Except that it doesn't work )

The FCC has nothing to do with it. They don't define irrational numbers
such as e, pi, etc.

Try your troll somewhere else )

For long time people like FCC use Pi in ham radio exams and they use
Geneva value of 3.141592653. But why make Pi be such long number?
Why not use 3 and be over it?

Answer is FCC want things complecated to stay in power.

So we in campain to change Pi back to 3 just like Anglican church try
set it in 1700s. Come to web sight and vote to change Pi back to 3.
If work together we can do it.
