Sorry, I need to correct myself. 22 over 7 is just a rough figure. There is no absulute value for pi. Where fractions however are better than decimals is with for example 1/3 , 1.33 recuring in decimal. I wonder, if we were to start from scratch, what would be the base number? 12 , Or ,8 but probably not 10. I think 12. 8 is more divisable, but involves more digits. Computers might favour 2 (binary) but no good for general use. Of course everthing needs to be linked, money, weight, distance, etc to really work well.
