re: #315 Feline Fearless Leader

Two quibbles with the posted factoid.

The 359th digit is “6” — 3 and 0 are on either side of it. numbersofpi.com

The fact that a circle has 360 degrees is arbitrary. The Babylonians used the number 60 in their math, and 360 is very close to the number of days in a year. The Greeks, Arabs and Europeans kept the degree measure, I guess for convenience.

So if they’re implying there’s something mystical about finding 360 embedded in pi, it’s not all that impressive. Besides, with an infinite number of digits, every combination of digits is bound to turn up eventually.

The music part is cool, though.
