I can barely make sense of the question. The answer/explaination has me completely baffled.

I always say there are 3 types of people in the world. Those who are good at maths and those who are not.

QuizzMister, yes Pi is a much better example to explain that an irrational number has a never ending stream of digits behind the comma.

I'm shocked I remember that and I still don't really understand the answer. Good to know some of that early learning is still in my head!

Surely pi beats root two in the irrational number popularity contest! More maths questions please. Always the easy ones.

Love math - simplest language of all - it has art, symmetry and beauty. Just solve sudoku, and the patterns emerge

I don't understand the explanation. I like logic puzzles, even those that use basic computation such as Killer Sudoku, but Maths is something I've always struggled with.
