or perhaps the error is in using base 10

Posted by crash davis (aka crash davis) Mar 5 '10, 13:05

maybe there is a numerical base in which pi stops

Responses:

base 2, base 10, base 16, base 60 ... they are just bases, they're representations of numbers. I don't see a reason why the base would change a value. - Beryllium Mar 5, 13:07 2
- but you could never have an argument over what is 1/3 if you used base 2 -- nm - crash davis Mar 5, 13:08
- you can't make an irrational number into a rational one by changing between rational bases. -- nm - Reagen Mar 5, 13:08
only base pi. - Reagen Mar 5, 13:07
312.50 -- nm - Spawn Mar 5, 13:06
