This post was really hard to follow.

Are you doing anything different than working in base 12?

What does the reality we live in have to do with math?

What benefit is there to computing pi in this manner?

It's not base 12… it is some sort of exponential base, I think.

edit: never mind, I was not calculating the numbers properly.

I still have no idea wtf is going on. How does he get 1 to be 1.08?

Because I am saying we are missing 2 single digit numbers in our mix. The ancient method is that way definitely. It's waved in our face.

Then that's base 12. And 1 is still 1 in base 12, not 1.08.

Where do you get 1.08 from?

Use A and B as your extra single digits.

Then all of your single digits are:

1) 0

2) 1

3) 2

...

9) 8

10) 9

11) A

12) B

So there we have 12 single digits, from 0 to B.

How the hell do we get 1.08 from that?

We don't ignore it, I never used that in any part of the equations I showed anyway. lol.

Why aren't you counting 0 as a single digit?

i am just didnt write it in that one instance
