0.785398163397448 quarter pi is the correct number

0.785398 (usually .7854) is what is used by engineers to find such things as the area of a circle, multiply the square of the diameter, or the volume of a cylinder. It was found in the original Egyptian calculations that the Greeks borrowed. It is also used to convert degrees to radians. O.K., enough of this. This is a very noisy film. Some of the music you will recognize. At least the background noise does not overwhelm the little dialogue there is. The film was shot in black and white, which actually adds another worldly dimension to the story. The movie tells the tale of Maximillian Cohen (Sean Gullette), a person obsessed with math and numbers, who attempts to anticipate the stock market. Others encourage him. He has a friend, Sol Robeson (Mark Margolis), who tries to discourage him. Eventually, he is used to reveal the name of God. Poor Max, what will become of him? If you are interested in the story that Sol talks about, Archimedes and his ‘Eureka!' moment, then you will be interested in a real one in the book and documentary of “The Narnia Code.”
