No clue what Amazon is using. The one I have access to gave a sane answer.

Maybe it knows something about pi we don’t.

It’s infinite yet ends in a 9. It’s a great mystery.

Pi is 10 in base-pi

EDIT: 10, not 1

Hyperreal numbers go brrr.

I’m kind of curious what ways exactly using this in place of actual pi would change/break geometry. Obviously, it wouldn’t become noticeable until you try to involve infinite structures.

I mean, it depends on what you’re doing. Supervision always required, though.

pi ends with the digit 9, followed by an infinite sequence of other digits.

That’s a very interesting use of the word “ends”.

TBF, if your goal is to generate the most valid sentence that directly answers the question, it’s only one minor abstract noun that’s broken here.

Edit: I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a substantial drop in the probability of a digit being listed after the leading 9 (3.14159…), even, so it is “last” in a sense.

Edit again: Man, Baader-Meinhof so hard. Somehow pi to 5 digits came up more than once in 24 hours, so yes.

True but I think the Fast & the Furious franchise has a better shot at giving Pi a run for it’s money.
