From: fernando revilla on 4 Feb 2010 05:54 The problem can be transformed. If R is an order relation on E, then, (a R' b iff b R a) is also relation of order on E. So, with an adequate reformulation, we can say that the last digit of pi is 3. Regards. http://ficus.pntic.mec.es/~frej0002/

Then go sit in the corner of a circular room.

Indeed, according to Matthew 20:16, the last shall be first. So we have it on Authority that the last digit of pi is (or shall be) 3. -- Gerry Myerson (gerry(a)maths.mq.edi.ai) (i -> u for email)

Tell him to find a calculator with a longer display, then an even longer one, ... After he's done that, ask him what is the "last digit" of 0.99999999...
