Description: Alternate proof of pige3 . This proof is based on the geometric observation that a hexagon of unit side length has perimeter 6, which is less than the unit-radius circumcircle, of perimeter 2pi . We translate this to algebra by looking at the function e ^ (i x ) as x goes from 0 to pi / 3 ; it moves at unit speed and travels distance 1 , hence 1 <_ _pi / 3 .
