Pin down a string in the middle and make a tiny mark at the tip, keep doing it while spinning it around until you have made a circle.

i estimate it would take roughly four hours to do this with a smaller string.

A Perfect Circle is a pretty good band. I only just realised that the name has such a complex meaning behind it.

By definition: Let O and A be 2 points in E^2 space. A circle of radius OA would be the unioun, that is, locus of points of all points X that satisfy d(O,X) = d(O,A) where d is the distance of the points. Similar for E^3 that is: sphere. It gets more interesting when we add a n>3 in E^n.
So the construction of a circle can be achieved perfectly using an isometric transformation that rotates point A around point O an infinite amount by an infinetely small angle. Then, pie and cake may be had by all.

make like DaVnci. draw a square, then use the middle of each side to help you draw the circle.

usually works with me.

There is no true way to make a perfect circle, as no matter how precise one draws a circle, it will always, unavoidably be made of very large numbers of straight lines.

Oh, inc(posts);

You can try drawing it with your dick, because you want a complicated way. But why? Just use a protractor.

It's called a compas.

Idiot.

Yeahh, I did. Were they good? I'm hoping to see them live again for the 3rd time when I get the money and the patience to go to where they're playing.
