Peter: Hold the ball so I can practice placekicking. Jason: What angle should I hold it at? 45 degrees? 60 degrees? Peter: Sixty's about right. Jason: Actually, mind if I use radians? I'm more comfortable with those. Peter: Whatever. Jason: Ok, ?/3 radians. Be right back. Peter: Where are you going?! Jason: To get a protractor. Paige: I thought you were playing with Peter. Jason: Oh, I AM. Trust me.

Careful, Jason - Peter may punt your radian out of sheer frustration.
Edit:: Yes, I know, Gweedo, but I was so tired last night when I wrote the above that I was doing well to remember my own name.

Hey Jason, just do like Lucy and pull the ball away.

Okay… this has to be stupider than Lucy van Pelt pulling the ball away from Charlie Brown.
How much is π/3 anyway? I never learned that kind of geomentry before. I just know that 90° is a right angle, less than 90° is an acute, more than 90° is an obtuse, 180° is a straight line and 360° is a complete circle.

pi radians equals 180 degrees. So pi/3 would be sixty degrees. Radians are a more “natural” angle measure than degrees, which are more convenient for everyday angle measurement. 180 degrees is a semicircle, not a straight line, although I do understand what you are saying.

1+1=2… I think.

I’m actually more comfortable with degrees, myself.
