How many decimal places do you want?

(I usually find 3.1415926 is more than adequate for my needs most of the time.) :II:

Apple, pumpkin, and pecan pies are sitting in my fridge.  The peach pie has already been "assimilated".  (oh; and the pumpkin in that pumpkin pie, never saw the inside of a can.  It was fresh from the garden this summer.)

I DID keep a lot more simple than seven digits beyond the decimal point. I could have used 22/7, but that's not completely accurate.

If you have $10.00 in your pocket and a hippie wants you to buy him/her a cup of coffee from Starbucks .... how much money do you have left over?

LOL  Easy for us but those nasty, nasty infiltrators would not only figure the cup of coffee + tax but they would throw in a tip and some money for the hippie to buy lunch thereby leaving with a deficit!  HA!  That's how we weed them out.

No pi, just tarts.

Math is not my friend but I do know what pi is . If I do, most people should.  :whatever:
