Re: A Formula for Pi

but used the term to term ratio I pointed out above.  If so, it should
be a little over

"Starnge, the line went dead just as Professor Press
was about to reveal the secret formula."

Okay, I'm confused, but that is not unusual.

Well, I was confused also at the time (I hope you saw my apology).

The paragraph I refered to simply ended abrutly, like a
hack plot device you might see in a Sherlock Holmes story.
Looking at the message tree, Micheal Press was in bold
letters and it occured to me that "Professor Press" would
be the perfect hack name to use in relation to the hack
"secret formula".

Forgetting for the moment that I wasn't replying to him.

It was one of those spur of the moment things that seems
lame once you have to explain it. The subconscience isn't
nearly as clever as people like to think.
