Not sure I follow you.

There are currently 68 teams in the field. 8 of them play in the play-in games. 4 win, 4 lose.

68-4 = 64.

No worries Hoffa, it's not been a great Monday morning for me, either.

Awesome, but I must ask:

Did you think the ENTIRE college basketball world had miscounted and that you--YES YOU--were the only person in the entire nation to figure it out?

What a triumphant epiphany it must have been.

 

[Bigtenchamp]

A^2 plus B^2 = C^2

4^2 = 16
3^2 = 9
16+9 = 25

Take square root of 25 and then times it by pi. 5 X 22/7. Pretty simple stuff.

 

[okeefe4prez]

Oh, and then don't forget to add cm to the end of the result or else you'll lose points.

 

[ssckelley]

ok4p, does it make you a good lawyer?

Why multiply it by pi?

 

[CPHAWK82]

Why multiply it by pi?

I was wondering the same thing.

 

[okeefe4prez]

Why multiply it by pi?

Maybe I misremembered and you need to type in 5 and then press the sine button on your calculator. I missed that day of trig and when we are dealing with triangles, I gotta dig deep into the trig trick book.
