Sinny's Ramblings

[Sinny]

Been meaning to make this thread for a while as a place to post my random questions. I thought it may have been selfish before, but P.W.M has got his and I'm jealous. .

Not much to post at the moment.. but I am wondering if anyone can think of a mathematical Constant closer than Pi?

I can't envision it can you?

Math was the one and only "D" I got in middle school, one and only "D" I got in high school, one and only "D" I got in college.  I feel comfortable saying I'm probably not qualified to participate in this conversation.

What does "closer than Pi" mean?

I was hoping one of you would tell me lol
I may be repeating the ramblings of a mad man 

[ArMaP]

To my limited knowledge of English, that sentence doesn't make any sense, as "closer than" means a comparison, but we don't have any thing to compare Pi with. 

[Sinny]

I think, from the ramblings that I heard, somebody has claimed to have something closer than a reoccurring number... I personally think that's impossible, so I thought I'd just throw it out there...

Well, I have a rather easy answer except, I am not sure that it actually answers your question of thought!

Any mathematical constant that results in simply an exact "whole number" would be more accurate than one that doesn't -  ie anything with never ending decimal places will never be an exact/finite mathematical number. 3.0 is an exact finite number. Pi will never be perfect, and at some point must be rounded off, for use in any calculation.

Pi

Yea kinda lost in the question too.
When i think of your question ,iwhat popped in my mind was the fibonacci sequence.
Then i thought of repeating numbers like 10/3 .

Gave that dog the Kung Foo "flying-20-claws-of-pain" move.  Well done, kitty.  Well done.

Probably "flying-18-claws-of-pain", cats (usually) have only 4 claws on the "feet" and 5 on the "hands".

Weird how we associate love with the heart organ...
