Let π = 5

Pi is now 5 due to inflation

That's how you know math is OP when you can calculate volumes in parallel worlds where circles don't even looks like circles

Ah, Manhattan. Where pi = 4, and circles are diamonds.

To be Devil's Advocate:
Given that the rest written in Comic Sans, it may be an early elementary school exercise, aimed at teaching kids to do multiplications. In this case, it's tolerable and/or defensible to find a simplification for pi.

That said, making pi equal to 3 would have been more accurate for that...

That's a dumb way of teaching and you are a dumb devils advocate for saying it. Go to H E double hockey sticks.
- Even in engineering it is common to just round pi to 3 and quickly estimate whatever it is your doing.

They're just rounding up from "3."

And not that pussy rounding up where you go up by only 1, oh no, we’re rounding up 2 baby.

Having Pi equal five definitely does not help the world go round.

Wouldn’t it make it seem like a bigger place?

Idk, if you want to test people on how they understand formulae and order of operations without letting them just punch it into a calculator. The actual math isn't hard, but if you don't get substituting values into an equation then it's not trivial

Just let π be 3 ...
- Or have them learn how to use a calculator at the same time.

When you want students to not use calculators but still rate a question for 10 second answer.

Damn inflation is everywhere now, even the transcendentals :'(

With π=5 maths break down completely. If π=5, then e^(5i) = -1, meaning -1 = cos(5) + i * sin(5), or -1 ≈ 0.284 - 0.959 i

I think you're overthinking it. The first thing you're told when you learn algebra is that a letter represents a number and you can say "let a equal (number), b equal (number)..." so you can let pi equal whatever you want for the purposes of one simple problem.
- But the question is saying to find the volume of a cylinder. Which its clearly wrong.
- Or as I like to call pi...the little symbol thingy. But exactly yes, you get it.

pi, as it turns out, is just the friends we made along the way

Numbers are symbolic, I’d say it’s not a bad piece of homework to supplement a lesson that numbers are to be respected but ALSO to always know that they mean nothing without context.

We can appreciate the beauty of infinity in memorizing pi, but the reality we live in demands actions of whatever the fuck it is we redefine volition, will, or passion to.

I think people can be so much more, but my idea of more is tainted by the values I have. Not everyone would agree with the idea that we all deserve to live.

Survival of the fittest, they support indirectly. With actions that include the advent of modern advertising. The CIA(?) experiment on attention, catalyzed by the creation of lsd in the knowledge-obtaining-goal of understanding the mechanics of attention, were directly related to the patriot act.

I’m not claiming anything other than the fact that our “leaders,” have used their knowledge of attention spans to sway the, “masses.” The rest of us.

How do you think of the, “rest of us?”

I hope you teach your children that, and that math is the beauty we’ve come to understand in our millennia of evolutionary timescales, of fucking struggle.

You have within you, much.

Do not waste the years of before, do something to help. Not your country, but your reality. The outside. You’re something. Not “nothing but a part of.” There’s so much in the word, “just.”

That’s all I have to say. Just that. Not much. Just a tiny little wall. Sorry. I write, and I rant, and I let go. Please don’t ban me. I matter and I’m not hateful. I’m sorry.
