RE: 427,428,429 Trivia Question
By Will - 11/17/2000 12:03:08 AM; IP 24.26.244.78
I think I was using 3.14159. I know I should have stopped at 3.141 (or maybe 3.142 to round pi correctly). I don't think it matters though. Yeah, it'll make a difference at 2 or 3 decimal places, but I don't think it'll change the final numbers.

I remember doing this calc when I was in high school and I think I came up with 425.6 for the 427. I think I only had 2 decimal places for the stroke, though. I always figured they called it the 427 'cause it sounded cool.

Who cares about 1.5 cubic inches anyway. I guess that's why they call it trivia. :-)
