User Androstachys ( talk · contribs) seems to insist that this is a logic puzzle. As the essence of the puzzle is the circumference of the circle, this clearly is a mathematical puzzle, so I have undone the edit. DVdm ( talk) 09:09, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
And no, no red herring, just an attempt to explain (by an i.m.o. valid analogy) the error in your reasoning. If you like you can remove the two instances of "(almost)" in my previous message - that's why I had added the question marks. DVdm ( talk) 11:55, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
It seems that you are not amenable to reason - language is simply the medium used to pose a puzzle; it doesn't affect the intrinsic logic of the puzzle and only needs considering if it's a word or language puzzle; just as irrelevant is the fact that all problems appearing in WP are couched in English and use the Roman alphabet. Do try to see the essence of the matter rather than gleefully pointing out trivia. Androstachys ( talk) 13:07, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
