I think you discovered how Clark reached his conclusion. That was quite a lot of effort for what you got out of it. The original assertion that I made was that the problem wasn't well-defined. What you have done is go off on a fishing expedition which has solved some problem, but I don't know which one except it does provide a logical explanation of how Clark reached his conclusion. Your paired choice model ends up with a fraction 1/264. I thought you had argued earlier that fractions weren't accepted. My reasoning was based on an a priori assumption that Clark's fraction was 1/263 when it was the odds of 1 to 263. I made no effort to figure out how he got that. My post was intended to be humorous, but you've taken it to a shooting war. I'll keep that in mind next time you post.

I'm not sure what you mean by "exact" here. Pi, is not an integer, but it is exact, at least it is to mathematicians.

What do you mean by "exact" here? How is Pi "exact"?
