Pie

Revision as of 11:17, 15 January 2008

You have now been warned.

First some constants:

We can now compute the value of pi*e (pie)

So now I propose a 'slice of pie'...

To make that a bit more english, you cut your pie into 8 slices but will probably lose about 6% of the overall pie quantity as crumbs.

I hereby propose that 'slice' and 'crumbs' be formally defined as such:
