We calculated pi with colliding blocks

Happy Pi Day 2025 everyone! Check out Grant's new 3blue1brown video:    • Why colliding blocks compute pi   Oh look, it's Steve's excellent channel:    / stevemould   Sign up for future pi-by-hand videos: https://forms.gle/w44THpNJ3jWUPqHy6 Massive thanks to Hugh Hunt and everyone in the University of Cambridge Department of Engineering, particularly the legends in the workshop. https://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/profiles/hemh1 Huge thanks to my Patreon supporters. They keep my masses bouncing back and forth.   / standupmaths   CORRECTIONS At 22:27 I say the Bonn ratio was 1-to-97 but they double checked for me and it was actually 1-to-93, which makes the same point. Let me know if you spot anything else!
