Not knowing what "squaring the circle" was before this video, I must admit I had to look it up elsewhere to really understand. In the video, it is explained as "finding" a square and circle of the same area. Which sounds like you could just say, "the circle has a radius of n and the square has a width of n*pi^(1/2). Solved. But instead, the challenge is to construct it with a compass and straight edge, which is of course a much different type of challenge. It could be that the language you used conveyed that and I just don't know it, but on first brush it seems like an important detail may have been left out.

Very interesting. At some point, in the last few decades, I recall hearing that Indiana had just passed such a law, not a hundred years prior. It didn't strike me as important at the time, and I'm pretty sure it was pre-internet, anyway. I wish I could remember the source. Obviously, whoever it was spreading this disinformation was entirely out of their depth.

At that time it was probably very difficult to explain rational numbers to the masses, so yes 32/10 is good approach. I really think 22/7 was the best close to the true discovery of the all time Pi calculations.
