KLIC: nearly pi again

mI' nger vItIv 'ach vIyajchu'be'.
"I enjoy number theory, even though I don't understand it very well."

chaq jaS vIjatlhnISpu':
Sochlogh boqHa''egh cha'maH cha'; tlhoS chen *pi*.

"Perhaps I should have said it differently:
 22/7 almost equals pi."

ja' DujHoD:

355/113 vIlo' jIH. 'u'raj beQ law' 'u'wIj beQ puSmo' naDev *pi*
'oHchu'qu' 355/113.

"*I* use 355/113.  Because my universe is less flat than yours, 355/113
equals pi exactly here.  >:-)"
