How widely has the news spread that Douglas Adams could have been mentioning 42 in the way of 42/7 is math.tau ?
>> ((math.tau - 42/7) / math.tau) * 100
4.507034144862795
>>>
>>> ((math.tau - 6.28) / math.tau) * 100
0.05069573828972128
>>>
For work that needs only 10% accuracy, I will settle for two digits, like as I speak here of 5.1%.
But I wouldn't feel much dissed, I wouldn't feel you're egregiously wasting my time, if you tell me these are within 4.51% and within 5.07%.
And I still wouldn't feel much dissed, if you tell me these are about 4.50% and 5.06% of accurate.
