Thread: Geometry Question

He (or she) never heard of pi before 'cause youse spelt it rong.

It's pie

Round with meat (?) inside..... (round is obviously the point of confusion for your engineer pserson)

and you thought 2 pi r was an equation

its a lunch order

2 = two of 'em

pi = meat pie

r = red horse = dead horse = tom sauce

simple

next jobbie??????

Speaking of 4x4ing...

Was up at Imbil SF (camping at the deer farm). They have a plaque up there for people who have climbed red hill - a very steep, very long track that runs along a knife-edge ridge at the top.

The track is loose and rutted, and we could only make it about 1/4 of the way at best (too steep to pull 2nd low, and too much wheelspin in 1st low) - But we drove to the top via another track, then drove down.

The property owner didn't believe we had driven down it, he said it was impossible, that it was so steep we would have been standing on the windscreen the whole way!!!

At the same time, he also tried to convince us that everyone who had successfully made it up (all toyotas of course) had driven up in high range!!!

Of course!

and they were in Camrys!
with the back tyres missing..
towing a caravan
and a dunny
and a satellite tv receiver dish...
and another camry just in case

i laugh and laugh and laugh, well done there isuzurover!

You do know that 'yotas are the best at everything, 'cause John Laws said so!

So where's this track? Sounds like a future AULRO trip

Where abouts is that? Have you got any waypoint or track data?
I've got the Northern section of the Imbil SF on an OziExp map if you want it. Plus more of the surrounds.

I am desigining an insert for a circular fountain with a central circular pillar(think of a donut).As it is prexisting I only have the circumference of the centre pillar to work out the radius and diameter of the pillar.So if circumference of a circle = 2x pi x radius, can I calculate the radius if I know the circumference by going
radius = Circumference divided by 2 x pi.
It works on a calculator but would like to know before I order the fabrication.
PS. Our engineer has never heard of pi.

In answer to the first question 3 pages ago "Yes"

this link may come in handy, it calculates columns also

Sorry mate, no coordinates. You leave the deer farm and head east, then take the first SF entrance on the LHS. Drive along the main track until you have passed the plantation pine on the LHS and then take the next track on the left. Follow that track and it will take you to the base of red hill.

Would be interested in the map. What do you do up that way?

Okay I'll have to go for a quick drive. I can post up the data when I'm done. Just to the track of course. Not going to do anything silly on my own

If you PM me your email I can send the maps to you. Alternatively your postal address and I'll do up a DVD for you at the same time as I do Incisor's.

I work in a family owned sawmill in Imbil. Sometimes I think 'I went to uni for this?' but then I go 4wding for work and it's all okay
