Sample size = 1. Temporal occurrences = 1. Spatial occurrences = 1.

Absolute certainty

1 = 1.00 = 100%

There is no doubt.

You sure about those equations? My background in Physics tells me that 1= π = (speed of light) / (not quite speed of light) [without unit]

If the metre was 4.8% shorter then the speed of light could be π*10^8^ m/s

If physics taught you that 1 = pi, you may want to retake some classes.

I don't know, I passed the "rounding to the next order of magnitude because it's good enough and nobody will notice" class with flying colours

I got 1000%, or something close
