it's 2011, don't you think chalkboards are a little out-dated MIT?

@SparkleyEyes08 Their chalkboards are really nice :O

@SparkleyEyes08 I LOVE CHALKBOARDS.

Also, it's MIT. The chalkboards are a traditional part of MIT. I hope I get into MIT so I can see those chalkboards one day.

Is PI a finite number?

[Lostkn]

@Cerberus204498 The Volume is equal to Pi and is finite despite the cross section slice area being infinite. The value of Pi is is an irrational number and its decimal value keeps on going as it doesn't stop or form a pattern. for calculations we may limit the number of decimals to certain limit for e.g upto 3 decimal places or 6 decimal places. hence we can say that volume is 3.142 cubic meter or3.142857 cubic meter. it depends on how much precision one requires.
