Don't tell that to any tool maker, or carpet layer, or building painter, or utilities planner, or surveyor, or plumber, or engineer, or center pivot irrigation farmer, or tire maker, or landscaper, or air compressor salesman, or chimney builder, or custom engine mechanic, or ………………………... :cool:

When Pi is an approximation, the more you do with it, the more it drifts.

No DB, you need pi to work out how big the slice is.
