New Research reveals "pi" = 2
by Mike Million
Scientists and mathematicians at the Arcadian Institute of Higher Order Mathematics (AIHOM) have calculated the true value of pi.
Pi, for those who do not know, is the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter.
"We calculated the value of pi from a question we found from one of ParkerBaby's maths tests. Specifically, question 22 on the Entry to ParkerBaby's Institute of Higher Mathematics and Sciences", stated Professor Benjamin Geoffrey.
"ParkerBaby is very valuable to us at the Arcadian Empire, as we acknowledge she is a very important part of the Legion. Because of that, we here state that she is our mathematical superior", stated Senior Professor Jackson Young.
Professor Young then proceeded to show us the true value of pi.
"We found this question on the Entry to ParkerBaby's Institute of Higher Mathematics and Sciences test.
If the circumference of a circle is 4 and the diamater is 2. What is the area of the circle?
I then proceeded to say, "The answer is obviously 12.57 to two decimal places and it is a trick question, you don't need the circumference to calculate area." Then I noticed, that the circumference of that circle is 4 and the diameter is 2 which means the value of pi is actually 2!"
Professor Young has been nominated to win the "Best Mathematician of the Year" Award.
