So back when I was in high school I noticed that a perfectly cylindrical pizza with a radius of "z" and a height of "a" did something cool. The volume of this pizza is...

V= pi*z*z*a

Today I was informed that...

13.37*pi=42 which is to say that 1337% of pi is 42. Douglas Adams and geeks everywhere should be rejoicing right now.

What other mathematical coincidence can you think of?

Sorry, my mind is too blown to point out anything.

V= pi*z*z*aThat's how my favorite math teacher taught us how to do volume of cylinders.

13.37*pi=42 which is to say that 1337% of pi is 42. Douglas Adams and geeks everywhere should be rejoicing right now.

Thats close but not correct. however its funny.

My favorite mathematical identity: e^(pi*i) + 1 = 0
