Maybe it knows something about pi we don’t.
It’s infinite yet ends in a 9. It’s a great mystery.

Mathematicians are weird enough that at least one of them has done calculations in base-pi.

I saw someone post this a few days ago, and someone else quickly pointed out that it is incorrect. This time I’ll point out it is incorrect.
In base-pi, pi would be represented as 10. The place value of the right-most digit would be pi^0, and the next digit is pi^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.
