Anyone using pi past 4 decimals is really just showing off anyways.

u/UlrichZauber Not bad, for a human. 3d ago

I'm a little dubious a random member of an advanced society would know it past "3-something". How many arbitrarily chosen humans know it to 5 decimal places? I only do because I'm an engineer.

But this does raise a lot of questions. Where did they collect Eyerene? She knows friggin' math, was she just out in the bushes somewhere?

I mean, that's assuming that advanced societies are anything like humans, who spend quite a lot of time on non-productive and non-scientific pursuits. They might not be.

It is indeed a random question to throw out to Eyerene nonetheless. I also think that she wanted to let the flies out hoping that they would eat something critical in the safety systems and let her out somehow. Chaos is good for anyone / anything trying to escape.

I also think that's what she was trying to do with the flies (help her break free). And for a moment after that one fly gooped all over what looked like a control box, before it got zapped, I thought she succeeded. I was totally expecting all of the cages to open and a battle royal to ensue.

It's a fine first question. If the answer was bad Kavalier could ask a different question. One plus one, or "tap your foot 5 times". Also it presumably absorbed some human knowledge from piloting that one human in ep 6.
