| Aug 28, 2021 at 22:58 | comment | added | Florian F | Wow. Actually I mentioned Banach-Tarski as a joke. I know it works in 3D. But as it seems, it wasn't that far-fetched. Thanks for sharing. | |

| Aug 28, 2021 at 9:18 | comment | added | Florian F | I also don't see how Banach Tarski could be used here. But if it can, it is not allowed. | |
| Aug 28, 2021 at 8:54 | comment | added | quest | I don't see how one can use Banach Tarski in two dimensions. Could you elaborate a solution based on that or do you map the circle to higher dimensions and then map it back to 2D? | |
| Aug 28, 2021 at 8:33 | comment | added | quest | I think the first step is to prove that no matter the size of the circle, pi is constant. Or at least that pi>3 no matter the size of the circle. I think you need some kind of measurable argument to prove that pi exists if you define pi via lengths or areas. | |

| Aug 27, 2021 at 23:06 | comment | added | bobble | Can you cut the squares differently from each other or do the pieces have to be identical across squares? | |
