I am wrong in thinking the circumference or the diameter of a circle has to be rational?

    It was implied that it would wrap around the circle. I’ll update original post to clarify better.

      Yeah that’s what I gathered, but it’s backwards. C = Pi D means you need pi strings, not that it’ll cover the circle pi times.

        Ahhhh. I see what your saying. It’s fixed.

        Yeah. Did not mean to intend that it wraps fully around the circle pi times. Good catch.
