It's been a while since I was in a classroom and I'd never heard of Tau. But I think they should go about things rationally .........

Throw them both into a Circle and let them fight it out.

Leave pi alone, fuckers! It's been around with us forever, and it's full of goodness like cherries and peaches and apples and whatever else you put in it! Can you have a piece of Tau? NO!


Seriously, interesting article, Mr. T.

Last time I checked, the area and circumference of a circle were measured with pi, not (tau/2). Leave it be!!
