- Hey, if this number's not going to be rational then my reasoning doesn't need to be rational either!!! -- nm - Ender May 21, 07:55 4
  - That sounds reasonable -- nm - con_carne May 21, 07:57 3
    - No, it's unreasonable, but pi doesn't give a fuck, so why should I? -- nm - Ender May 21, 07:59 1

    - I don't think you're getting this. -- nm - Reagen May 21, 07:59
- Do it like a web programmer does; pick 3 numbers and test that they are present, then go get a beer and call it job done. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 07:42
