The Law Explained

In 1897, the Indiana General Assembly famously tried to pass a bill that would legally define the mathematical value of Pi as 3.2. Fortunately, a visiting mathematics professor intervened before the Senate could vote on it. While the law never fully passed, it remains a legendary example of legislative hubris.
