As an engineer, I don't see the problem. There are no more digits after the five.

I beg to differ. Everyone knows there's a 9 next.
Yeah. If you leave out the 9 then the 5 becomes a 6.
6 7
6 7
6 7
I can follow that train of thought.
Immediate flashbacks to an old maths classroom that had a printed copy of this on the door
What an irrational decision.
Yeah missed opportunity to work in a deeper fundamental concept. Application to door funnies denied!
If the comic world surface space is finite, wouldn't PI already take every possible space in it, and more? Makes this whole thing kinda irrational.
(I'll show myself out)
Happy Pi-Day everyone btw!
How irrational of her.
I'm going to pronounce 6 as Sharon from now on.

6.0000... if you want.
Or 5.9999... same thing.
Good point.
Is 6 going to regret this at the 13th, 29th, 39th, 47th, 56th, 66th, 96th, 99th, ... digit after the decimal?

We should instead worry that Sharon's society is kinder to the disabled than ours, that is likely what they would consider her to be...
