Work begins to check the computer's results using pen and paper.

Accra, Ghana - It has recently been determined by Professor M'buku of the Ghana Community College of Cosmetology that Pi actually does repeat itself. Using seventeen hundred TRS-80 computers (16K of RAM whether you need it or not) working in tandem for sixteen months, she found that in the 10 duo triggin tillionth place it started over with 14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510 and then repeated those fifty numbers over and over again.

This has been hotly disputed by Professor Andropov of Vladivostok Tech who using only 15 Commodore 64s showed that after repeating those fifty numbers 2,873 times it started being random again.

Criticizing both of these people was Dr. Nathaniel Branden, noted Objectivist Metaphysician, who said, "Of course it will repeat! It's a number that goes on infinitely, so at some point, however far out, it would have to repeat any number of series any number of times! A is, after all A!"

This was actually remarkable, because technically speaking, what he said was actually true.

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
