Well now I’m going to end up counting “four, five, Sharon, seven”

Especially because Sharon Six came from the right, they had the right of way.

Could anyone explain this joke plz?

π has an infinite amount of decimals.

Why do they have sidewalks in Numbertown?

We asume

Nope, the proof has been known since ancient times the 18th century!

An irrational decision.

There is no 6 in π

3.1415926... there is 6 in pi, I believe the joke is that it's an irrational number so the line never stops

The proof is not that ancient. Pi was proven to be irrational in 1761, and proven to be transcendental in 1882.

For a long time the problem was known as "squaring the circle": Given a circle in a plane, construct a square with the same area using a compass and straightedge. This was a famous unsolved problem in mathematics from antiquity all the way through the renaissance.

Thanks for the correction - misremembered that.

A slight clarification in return: the constructible numbers are a strict subset of the algebraic (i.e. non-transcendental) real numbers.

(The constructible numbers are those numbers resulting from the closure of the rational numbers under square roots.)

This means that although the proof of pi's transcendentality proved that squaring the circle is impossible, it could have been the case that pi was neither transcendental nor constructible. A simple example of such a number is the cube root of 2.

Tau has entered the chat.

She's so afraid of Seven, she overlooks other dangers

Thanks for the info :)

So does every number:

6.000000....

3.1415926... there is 6 in pi, I believe the joke is that it's an irrational number so the line never stops

It's fine, they'll just be in queue position omega

Or 5.999... It's equal to 6 but it appears to have a much more impressive decimal expansion

sqrt 2, e and pi enter in a bar.........
