Womi Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 If you divide the number of worker bees in a comb by the number of drones in the same comb, you'll always get Phi as result (Phi=2*Pi). If you divide the actual length of long rivers by the straight length from spring to end, you'll always get Pi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
