cryowizardThis is the most fucked up piece of code I have ever seen. And it actually works!
Fascinating, in a way.

All ye C/C++ gurus feel free to check it out. We pasted the code from the URL into a blank C++ project, renamed the source as .C and it compiled, and we were able to place a breakpoint inside that circle, as the picture suggests.
It does give the value of Pi as 0.250 but the URL suggests that a bigger circle gives better results ;)
