Fun maths problem:
I decided to let my spreadsheet graph the distance traveled by a circle of varying radius traveling along a flattened(unrolled?) circle of 1/(2π) radius and it said the answer was: distance = 2πr + 1
I thought; "There it is! The 'Plus 1' !!!!"
Then I plotted the same thing, only I swapped which variable was the variable and my spreadsheet then said the answer was: distance = 2πr + 2π.
I almost cried.
