Assume the pig is spherical, frictionless and ignore wind resistance.

So a spherical pig in a perfect vacuum?

Yeah we have those on aisle 6.

My bad, though I learned that the old spelling for aisle is in fact isle. I have corrected it, thank you.

Tried to replicate by subtracting pi from a police officer, but all I got was a type error and a night in jail.

A pig without (3.14 AKA pi) = g

G is gravity which is 9.8 metres per second on earth

For anyone not sober wondering wtf this meant.

"... a pig without pi is ... gravity... no...

a pig without pi is... heavy?...

Mine doesn't get it either and, uh... it's soooooo easy and obvious that I don't know how to explain. Yeah.

"A pig without 3.14 is 9.8"

3.14 = first few digits of π (pi)

"pig" without "pi" is "g" (not math, just letters)

g = term for acceleration due to gravity (on Earth) = 9.81 m/s²

33

Pi is about 3.14 and the acceleration for gravity (g) is 9.8. So a pig without 3.14 (pi), is 9.8 (g).

For explanation of Title: Actually most of the time I take g as 10 in numericals and give answer in approx.

pig

pi g

The number pi, earth gravity 3.14..., ~9.8m/s²

Pig without 3.14 is 9.8
