Fixedthatforyou. The problem was they only showed bones - no undies.
Therefore I never ordered a pair
The ones I had showed undies and lots of other things.
Mind you I was 13 years old with an amazing imagination 🙂

She's got the sort of voice you'd hear on the Muppet Show. I could imagine her voicing cartoons as well

How does one work out pi to loads of decimal places?

Yebbut pi is the ratio of a circle's diameter to its circumference. Who has ever measured either accurately enough to work out C/D to several millions of decimal places?

Long division would be better than a calculator if you want loads of decimal places as paper is better as displaying a long number than a calculator!!
22/7 gives the wrong result as Pi is irrantional. however you can do it longhand with an infinite series such as gregor-leibnitz
A computer helps if you want to run many iterations!

- π=(4/1)-(4/3)+(4/5)-(4/7)+(4/9)-(4/11)+(4/13)-(4/15) ⋯
- π=3+4/(2·3·4)-4/(4·5·6)+4/(6·7·8)-4/(8·9·10)+4/(10·11·12)-4/(12·13·14) ⋯

The only purpose I found for long divison was if I wanted a completely different answer to anyone else in the class: it never failed.

Citation for the latter?
(Had a lot of fun googling Acadian: " ...descended from the French ..." - implies the French are some backward race, left behind in the Old World :P
