While Pi is irrational (Proof[^]), it's certainly not 22//7. Of course, anyone who's looked into the curriculum for becoming a certified teacher knows that there's no actual knowledge involved. Just psychobabble and fluff...

But that brings to mind my 7th grade math class, and a teacher who actually knew math. We had a couple dozen electromechanical calculating machines in the back of the room, and the day she told us that one can approximate Pi by dividing 22 by 7, my friend and I set up that division on all of the machines, but didn't press the execute key until the bell rang at the end of class. We ran through the machines and started them all at about the same moment and ran out the door. Next class we learned that it took about 15 minutes for them all to settle down. Big Grin | :-D
Will Rogers never met me.

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
