>"The formation, measuring 150ft in diameter, is apparently a coded image representing the first 10 digits, 3.141592654, of pi.
It is has appeared in a field near Barbury Castle, an iron-age hill fort above Wroughton, Wilts, and has been described by astrophysicists as "mind-boggling".
Michael Reed, an astrophysicist, said: "The tenth digit has even been correctly rounded up. The little dot near the centre is the decimal point.
"The code is based on 10 angular segments with the radial jumps being the indicator of each segment. Starting at the centre and counting the number of one-tenth segments in each section contained by the change in radius clearly shows the values of the first 10 digits in the value of pi."

- Most complex crop circle ever discovered in British fields
- COOL New Circle
- Don't the farmers get pissed?
- Progression
- Why "a seminal event?"
- Well, maybe it boggles some minds
- 8 segments doesn't work for our base 10 number system though.
- Sure it does. This isn't numbers, it's graphics.
- It's just for a freehand doodler to divide a circle in eight segments than ten. Try it.

- Humans?
- Woudl aliens have 10 fingers and toes? Or even fingers and toes?

- Why do you suppose they are getting more complex? (n/t)
- re: Why do you suppose they are getting more complex?
- Not complex, just irrational.
- They're just getting better at making them.
