@insanehelix7076 I can explain what Pi is. In a circle (a real circle, not an ellipse) there are two measurements that can be made of it: the diameter and the circumference. (There are more, but these are the two I'll be using.) The diameter is a straight line from one end of the circle to the other that passes through the middle. The circumference is the outer edge of the circle, and the measurement of the circumference is what you would get if you cut it at one point, laid it out straight, and measured it.
Now how you get Pi is by measuring exactly how many diameters would fit into the circumference. Turns out, that number is always the same, because the proportions on a circle are always the same. 3 diameters can fit into the circumference, but there's a little left over (that's where we get the .14). Thing is, as far as we can tell, there is no exact measurement for Pi. it goes on forever, in smaller and smaller increments, with no repetition. We have computers constantly calculating more and more of Pi, but we haven't reached the end of it yet.
So nobody invented Pi, and there is no "full number" of it.
If you already knew all of this and were just joking, sorry. Just wanted to be safe.
