    Usually when that happens there’s a way to tie it back to circles, but it’s not always easy to find

      You could say you just go round and round hunting for it, but no matter how hard you try you just can’t corner it.

      Well, you could.

      Not necessarily circles, but conic sections. When you take a series of a fixed exponent over a variable x, and graph it, that graph is a parabola.

      A parabola is a slice through a cone. Tada, pi appears.
