3 April 2026 - pi is 3

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

When calculations give me trouble
Ramanujan comes to me
To offer a solution, pi is 3.

In my hour of consternation,
Lost in marginalia,
Fermat shows me his proof that pi is 3.

Pi is 3, pi is 3,
Pi is 3, pi is 3,
Pythagoras agrees that pi is 3.

clue:

cf. "Let it be." How much do you trust imaginary advice?

give me a clue so sweet and true
