Flag for Circumference and Symbol: Teth via the Radius

The flag for Circumference is based upon a combination of maritime flag numbers for six, two and eight.  Since the ratio value for circumference is always 2π, which 6.28.  In the image on the bottom this is best explained.

The flag is composed of the colours black, white, blue, and red.  Since Circumference is associated with the number 6, the International Maritime Coded flag for Six composes the outer portion of the flag.  The second value is 2/10ths which one decimal place to the right.  Further the final number that has representation in this flag is 8/100ths which is represented by red long cross on white.  No further numbers are represented, since it would make the flag exceedingly complex.


Circumference also deserves its own symbol.  In this case the Phonecian letter tet or teth is used to symbolize circumference.  Coincidentally Teth also means wheel.

Funny thing about π is that its value is half a circle.  A full circle is thus 2π.  Likewise have a Teth equals π; or 2π equals 1Teth.

Since there is celebration for πday every March 14th, there should be celebrated day for the entire circle as represented by Teths-Day, which happens every June 28th.  June 28th also happens to be the birthday of first American Woman to with the Nobel Prize of Physics in 1963 Maria Goeppert Mayer (June 28, 1906 – February 20, 1972).  Also, another key mathematician born in 6/28 was Henri Lebesgue (June 28, 1875 – July 26, 1941) who came up with the theory of integration. 


Funny thing is that π is an adored number, but it only represents half a circle.  So really on π-day you should only bake and eat ½ of a pie.  However on Teths-day (June 28) that is when you should bake or eat a circularly shaped item!  3.14 is so cool, but it is only half of the way around, you need to finish the circle at 6.28.  Every circle you play with be it a baseball, tennis ball, kickball, basketball, or frisbee is connected to a ratio of 6.28 on the any circle you touch.  Basically the distance to the rim of the circle to the center is 6.28 times the radius for any circle on a object.  

This makes more sense with trigonometry designations.  Because π/2 is only ¼th of a pie; in other words half of π is ¼ of a pizza pie; a whole pizza pie is made of of 2π. However,  ¼ of Teths is ¼ of an apple pie, and ½ of a Teths is ½ of any circular doughnut...Kapeesh?
