I'm trying to find the problem with the reasoning for the perimeter one but I can't...

If you continue to bisect corners, you will never reach the innards of the circle since there will always be more angles to bisect. Notice that as the perimeter gets closer to the circle the perimeter of the outer box still stays 4 no matter how many times you bisect the corners. Since the perimeter stays 4 for all bisections, it never reaches pi because it never shrinks to conform to the circle. As such, Troll Math's proof is incorrect.
lim(x->inf) 4 always equals 4 no matter how you slice it. Since the perimeter of the square never changes, how can one say that the perimeter of a box is equal to the perimeter of a circle given Troll Math's constants in his proof? It's logically impossible.

ahahaha, I showed the troll math question to my parents. Now they're arguing about it.
I never thought I'd troll my parents but it worked. I love you Troll Math. You're the bestest pal ever. I even told them the truth about the problem, and only one of them agrees with me.

![]() ![]() These ones are interesting. Non-converging infinite series are fun. Of course you can't operate an infinite series like that if it doesn't converge. Concerning the Guys/Hotelkeeper/Bellboy problem here is step by step:
So in the end the guys only paid a total of 27 pounds, 25 went to the owner and 2 to the bellboy. | ||||||||||||||||||||
