I don't know! We'll need to ask one of our mathy types.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes

And it's Pi Day today - and not a mention of its vagueness!

Re: People and Klatsch (none / 0)

Do you mean vagueness or imprecision?

And don't we have to wait until 2016?

Did you know you can get pi to 7 significant figures for the price of 3?

Re: People and Klatsch (none / 0)

well, apologies to gk then, but why was he asking ME? I evidently have not been around enough... so, do we have to know anything else to get this question nailed down? ridership?

Re: People and Klatsch (none / 1)

I wasn't asking you (if I was, there would be no reason to post to everyone). I guess we'd need to know the ridership, how long and how frequently it's been running, and what the competition is (the maglev in Germany?)

Re: People and Klatsch (none / 0)

I know - I was just poking fun at my own blatant lack of any math-like abilities. It was a good 'question' - it made me smile. :)
