Abstract

PAGES 432a and 434a of the December 1965 issue of the American Scientist describe certain stone “round things” (I cannot call them circles), which have been found at several places in the British Isles. It is said, on page 434a of that magazine, that these misshapen round things may have been the result of a prehistoric British attempt to make the value of pi equal to 3. The existence of that description and the immediately preceding article, “Legal Value of Pi,” bring to mind the fantasy of the “Pi-Three-ers” and the “Pi-Four-ers.”
