My Brain Hurts.

[KEhendo]

ok, so i found this in the internet and it has messed with my mind. i don't remember much of my high school maths so i asked a friend who did specialist maths and he was as confused as i am.

 

i'm now seeking the help of the rollaclub brains trust to try and explain to me how this does or doesn't work.

hahaha.......... REAPEAT TO INFINTY :lolcry:

 

there is still 4 sides around the WHOLE circle, no matter how many corners you take out :yes:

 

MIND f@$k

[B.L.Z.BUB]

You'll never reach infinity therefore there will always be area outside the circle. Approx .84 :P

[B.L.Z.BUB]

Scratch that the area does shrink but you'll never get to a circle.

Exactly - the area approaches that of the circle but the perimeter never will.

 

People get confused with things like this because they don't understand how limit functions work...

With my old-age resolution all the circles on my screen have jagged edges! Pixel city...

This concerns me.

[t18drifts]

yeah doesn realy seem that confusing :happy:

[carbonboy]

I'm in the same boat as altezzaclub, old CRT monitor means everything has corners :wink:

 

Repeat to infinity, specialist maths, limit functions.... :blinks: 8/ :blinks:

 

:hammer: 8S :hammer:

 

My brain just imploded.

 

Reason for edit: Every time I try to type altezzaclub, I end up with altexxaclub..dammit!
