Pi puzzle room.

[Shagrid]

This is just a little mistake, nothing major, though it did have me trying to figure out the pi puzzle room a few times before I realised that the puzzle is just wrong. Pi to 4 decimal places is 3.142, not 3.141. The first four digits of pi, unrounded, is actually an incredibly misleading puzzle. Granted most people will just do a quick google search for what pi is, but the answer to the puzzle is still technically wrong. Just thought I'd leave this here, cause it really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ me up when I was certain I was right. I thought there was some hidden depth to the puzzle I couldn't figure out, failed it multiple times before I realised it was just unrounded. Whoops.

you are wrong because the puzzle is
Pi - you have to write first 4 digits of Pi number.
doesnt say to round it

I wrote the good number on first try because I just assumed I had to "cut" it rather than rounding it.

I understand what you mean, and I did get the puzzle. I'm just saying that for anyone that's ever actually used pi as a number, it's counter intuitive, it's always habit to round it like that :p.

Guess so, but then the habit of using the rounded pi value is the actual mistake.

True. There's a reason Pi is used as Pi and not as a rounded number. For all intents and purposes it should always be truncated at best. I'm just glad I knew the first 5 decimal places. I just ran that threw my head and BAM, first try ;D
