Angry Your math clock is wrong. - 09-27-2008, 09:15 PM

Pi is trancendental:it has in infinte number of digits behind the decimal point!
Fix it . Rounding it to two decimal places *must be done explicitly* in math!
What you have there is 9 plus a small irrational number with infinite trailing digits....
I got on this forum just to point that out. Fire the person who made it and get a real geek to make you guys something like that.

You linked to it and so did Digg:
FAIL, All FAIL....several errors on the clock, obvious ones. [Algebra 1+2]

Innumeracy is rampant
