22 divided by 7 doesn't give pi

If you divide 22 by 7 you get 3.142857142857142 etc etc (a repeating sequence)
Whereas pi is 3.14159265358979323846 etc etc
It is an irrational number which means that however many decimal places you calculate it to, it never forms a repeating pattern.

I'll take my geek hat off now

Friday is Pi day :-)
There's a guy on our local radio station who always says friday is pie day. Every friday he talks about a different pie.

Next year doesn't work as the approximation for pi is 3.14159265359.
Unless you take nine o'clock as the datum.
