While contemplating the approaching Leftover Pi Day (Nov. 10 this year)
and the whimsical poem written for this celebration (next paragraph),
curiosity sent me back to the Cartesian neighborhood for a stroll.

"Simple Simon met a pie man, parting from the fair.
Said the pie man to Simple Simon: 'My pies are in repair
to lockers cold, thus wrapped - not sold; leftover fare is fair
for sweet repose, then new expose of pie beyond compare!'"
While strolling, I began to suspect that a new Pi (constant
or formula) might be discovered before this Pi Day.
So, what clues exist in geometry that would lead to this?

New Pi in_insight ("insight" or "in sight") displays an intriguing
relationship of the sides of two inscribed squares. The math*:
0.7071067811865475244008443621052..
/ 0.79788456080286535587989211986877..
= 0.88622692545275801364908374167057.. = sqrt(Pi)/2

* Length calculation of sides of inscribed squares:
[ diameters = 1, 2(sqrt(1/Pi)); divisor = sqrt(2) ]
1 / 1.4142135623730950488016887242097..
= 0.7071067811865475244008443621052..
1.1283791670955125738961589031215..
/ 1.4142135623730950488016887242097..
= 0.79788456080286535587989211986877..

Apparently, one side each of two inscribed squares
can be used to precisely calculate an increment of Pi.
What's next? Go find the pie man!
"pie beyond compare" may be baking already!
