Do you know that the words "race car" spelled backwards still spells "race car"?

Mathematical symbol π, or pi, which sounds like pie, is 3.14, to 2 decimal places, if you take a picture of 3.14 and flip it backwards, it even spells pie

Its used to work out stuff anout circles, area, circumference etc, and pies are often round.
Mind=blown

Just had an online aptitude test for an apprenticeship ive been after for years, when working out the area of a circle, this is all I could think of...

I always wondered when Race car would come up on the RadaR

What Napoleon said when he disembarked after being exiled:
"Able was I ere I saw Elba."

And, in Latin, an expression of how much you like Rome:
"Roma summus amor" (Rome, supreme love)


(Hint- reverse those letters, like you did for "race car"

T. Eliot, top bard, notes putrid tang emanating, is sad; I'd assign it a name: gnat dirt upset on drab pot toilet
