[Coco] Invent a new way to calculate Pi

[Steve Ostrom]

John Mark, I love these ideas.  Also, Art Flexser is a wonderful reference if you want good help, and if he has time available.

Subject: [Coco] Invent a new way to calculate Pi

I have an idea for a programming chainage...

I have a strange idea that I can use a crude value of Pi to calculate a
better value of Pi. And you can repeat this process a number of times until
you get a much better value of Pi.

I found that I can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate Pi to a few
places like 3 or 6 places with only perhaps 10,000 triangles. I know that
there are better ways to calculate Pi, but this is a way that I actually
understand how it works.

Enjoy!
