But it wasn't Tennessee, it was Indiana. And it wasn't 3, it was 3.2, or
3.3, or 4. The fellow proposing the law (T.I. Record of Posen County, in
1897) was confused by the idea of pi being a non rational number.
REally really confused!
I had an arithemetic teacher in grammar school who thought
that PI = 22/7. Well, he was a bit less than 1% off...
