Aside...
"
in 1897, the general assembly of indiana enacted bill no. 246, stating that pi was just plain 4.
"
Apparently my kid's high school algebra teacher thinks that 22/7 equals Pi and is therefore irrational.  My kid and others tried to point out the error of her ways, but to no avail.
As you were.

I bet you didn't know that if you keep on calculating the digits of pi, the fractional part eventually becomes a series of 1s and 0s. When this is put in a BITMAPFILEHEADER structure, you end up with a full-colour rendering of ![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) .

Wow, the most I approximate it in my mental calculation is 3.2. 4 is plain gross O.o

No, I agree - believing that pi equals 22/7 does make her irrational.

While Pi is irrational (Proof[^]), it's certainly not 22//7. Of course, anyone who's looked into the curriculum for becoming a certified teacher knows that there's no actual knowledge involved. Just psychobabble and fluff...
But that brings to mind my 7th grade math class, and a teacher who actually knew math. We had a couple dozen electromechanical calculating machines in the back of the room, and the day she told us that one can approximate Pi by dividing 22 by 7, my friend and I set up that division on all of the machines, but didn't press the execute key until the bell rang at the end of class. We ran through the machines and started them all at about the same moment and ran out the door. Next class we learned that it took about 15 minutes for them all to settle down.

An RC (Release Candidate) for Visual Studio 2012?
Even Visual Studio 2015 is out of this stage, showing this message for Visual Studio 2012 means you missed a lot of fun, consider giving it a refresh.  Update the libraries and so, I hope it will work the update it is talking about will be about Visual Studio 2015.

No. "RC" means "Release Candidate".

I get a feeling here that you might be on the same designer-drugs that OriginalGriff is on, but I suspect that Griff is getting stuff a little more idempotent.
Of course, I'm just saying this out of jealousy.
cheers, Bill
