minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•5 months agoIt was implied that it would wrap around the circle. I’ll update original post to clarify better.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•5 months agoYeah that’s what I gathered, but it’s backwards. C = Pi D means you need pi strings, not that it’ll cover the circle pi times.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•5 months agoAhhhh. I see what your saying. It’s fixed. Yeah. Did not mean to intend that it wraps fully around the circle pi times. Good catch.
