Fun and educational for the kids

Thanks to Math teacher Donald Loopman of Fairport NY High High School who taught us that Pi = Circumference / Diameter and asked us to memorize it out to 5 places. I recited 10 to our class.  Their applause inspired me to memorize 108 decimal places over the years. TM helps improve memory.

Invitations were sent to 30 top universities and physics societies for anyone willing to debate for 1/2 hour, conveniently by phone, for a .911 Bitcoin award. Dr. Griscom wins by default, for the 2nd year. to be broadcast on Dr. Kevin Barrett's No Lies Radio Show.
