I have solved the puzzle of finding a formula to determine the area of a circle. To qualify as having solved this puzzles, the solution must be in one of the following forms:

1) A whole number.
2) A whole number and a fraction.
3) A whole number and a finite number of decimal places.

To find the area of a circle requires us to approach the issue from a different perspective. I will now present some clues as to how it shd and shd not be approached. Given the fact that thruout the ages, the circle is considered as the most sacred of all geometric shapes, as it bears a number of traits normally attributed only to divinity, such as, it has no starting or ending point, and its area cannot be fathomed, it is round like the sun (the sun being the giver and sustainer of life), etc. Given the fact that the circle is a spiritual symbol, any attempt to solve its mysteries must be approached from a spiritual perspective, and to do this, we need to understand the spiritual meaning of numbers.

As a prime example, most people refer to PI as the best possible (yet not accurate) solution, but without taking this any further, we can rule out PI right from the start, because the process involving the use of PI is an anti-spiritual process. Pythagoras correctly held that 2 is the most evil number. It is evil because it divides and splits apart. In other words, it destroys the circle. The circle is holy, and the 2 is "sinful", and as such cannot solve a sacred mystery. Aside from that, since PI has no end (a theoretical impossibility, as is any seemingly infinite stream of numbers, but that is another subject). All of the 9 numbers must be understood spiritually before the solution can be found. This is why no one has found the solution: they have been looking in the wrong place for the solution.
