3 Is Still A Good Approximation For π

3 Is Still A Good Approximation For π

Engineers and their eternal love affair with π ≈ 3! This meme perfectly captures the classic engineering approach of "close enough for government work." When asked to name three numbers, our engineer friend goes straight for the most notorious approximation in STEM fields. In reality, π = 3.14159... (and continues infinitely), but when you're building a bridge and need quick calculations, sometimes π = 3 is all you need. The woman's reaction is priceless - she instantly recognizes she's dealing with someone who prioritizes pragmatic solutions over mathematical purity. No wonder engineering professors collectively shudder whenever a student rounds π to 3!
