Are there values of a and b, whether integer, rational or irrational, that would make a/b=π? I don't think there are any that you can write down without an infinite piece of paper. Any number you come up with could never be precise enough for the equality to hold. I think?

π is a number. Therefore 2π is a number. For a = 2π and b = 2, then a/b = π. Or for any circle with circumference a and diameter b, then a/b = π. There's a lot of inaccuracy out there on the Web. I repeatedly saw webpages declare that π is not the ratio of any two numbers. What they must mean is that π is not the ratio of any two integers, the definition of an irrational number. π can certainly be the ratio of two numbers as long as one of those numbers is irrational. --Percy

I'm sure I used to have a sense of humour.

It's not all that funny. Perhaps it is droll. But the discussion is funny. If that horse ever had any laughs, they're dead now, too. "If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads." Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto.

Luckily, the same day I got sacked, I won the Nigerian lottery.

I no longer remember the details of what I learned, but the short answer is no. There's probably ways to figure out what's in them, but I've never looked into it. --Percy
