We're still waiting for the AE text that demonstrates 22/7, 3 1/7, etc as the relationship between a circle's diameter and radius ? And I'm waiting for my hundred bucks !

Unless you can produce an AE text that demonstrates 22/7, 3 1/7, etc as the ratio between a circle's diameter and circumference I'll take the money now.
As there isn't one I'll accept the money.
