Thank you Dean R. Thank you High Spy.

High Spy, you are certainly an interesting fellow.

Speaking of numbers, I need to call you next time I have to calculate 7 equal spaces around the circumference of a merry-go-round, having just the solid number of diameter to go off. I went with the - guess, measure, readjust method.
The answer is Pi divided by 7, times the known diameter.

Typing Pi/7 into your browser window will perform the calculation. :geek:

0.4487989505 is the result, and it truncates to 0.448

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=158072&p=2847502&hilit=384#p2847502 will show 48 represents an eclipse, and the scriptures tell us eclipses may serve as warnings.

https://ldsfreedomforum.com/viewtopic.p ... d#p1199453 Will put you on track to discover another truncation of the number of degrees in one radian.

57.2957 naturally derives, when circles have 360 degrees and base 10 numbers are used.

A totally awesome number fifty-seven anomaly. :!:

0.375 is 3/8 and may round to 0.38, making that fraction unique among base 10 numbers. 8-)
