Whoa, trippy coincidence. (16/3)^4 ~= 3.16
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoI must be misunderstanding something, because based upon my understanding (16/3)^4 ~= (5.333)^4 (or 65536/81) ~= 809.
- loudmax 4y ago16^4 / 3^4 = 256 / 81 That is interesting. Not as close to pi as the 22/7 that we were taught in middle school but maybe those exponentials were more meaningful to the Egyptians.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y ago16^4 is not 256. 16^2 is 256. 16^4 is 65,536.
- SilasX 4y agoOops, sorry.
- yifanl 4y agoDespite the math typo, (4/3)**4 is a pretty interesting composition of pi, if only because you get such a fundamental constant out of a relatively simple arrangement of low natural numbers.
