Comments by "Ginny Jolly" (@ginnyjollykidd) on "Powell’s Pi Paradox: the genius 14th century Indian solution" video.
Where the blazes did Madhuva get 355/113 ?! Unless that corresponds to a trait of pi, that's just pulling a random number out of the proverbial backside. So unless he proved all mathematical roads lead to pi, I ain't buying it. The proof is all bogus unless there is at least some demonstration of pi connection. Otherwise it's pretty pictures of "mentable gymnasticals" As Walt Kelly's character Pogo would call it. (actually, I think it was Albert Alligator)
