ost_uid0]An entire actual Doctor Who scene is devoted to pi and pie![The Master crosses a checkerboard deathtrap unharmed.] [b ost_uid0]Master[/b ost_uid0]: Try it, Doctor, it's as easy as [i ost_uid0]pi[/i ost_uid0]. [Exits][b ost_uid0]Doctor[/b ost_uid0]: What an extraordinary fellow. "As easy as pie"? "As easy as pie"?[b ost_uid0]Tegan[/b ost_uid0]: That's what he said.[b ost_uid0]Doctor[/b ost_uid0]: No, he didn't! He said "As easy as pi," the Greek letter pi! Surely you know some basic mathematics, child?[b ost_uid0]Tegan[/b ost_uid0]: Course! The ratio of the circumferance of a circle ... to its diameter ... is expressed by the Greek letter pi, right?[b ost_uid0]Doctor[/b ost_uid0]: Correct. You find the safe route across the board by using the mathematical formula pi. Oh, but the application, the application ... Let me see now. 3.14159265 -- yes! [He walks across the board unharmed, then gestures to Tegan] Now![b ost_uid0]Tegan[/b ost_uid0]: I sure hope you've got your sums right.... I didn't say it wasn't a silly one. ![]() (From "The Five Doctors")[/color ost_uid0]
