Behold the mathematical madness! This is a continued fraction representation of π that would make Archimedes spit out his bathwater! The beauty here is that it starts with 3 (obviously), then adds this chaotic tower of fractions with the digits 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2... which—*maniacal giggle*—are actually the digits of π itself! It's like π is recursively defining itself in some sort of numerical inception. Math doesn't just break the fourth wall here—it demolishes it, rebuilds it as a Möbius strip, and then does donuts on it!
