So you just copied from Wikipedia? An interesting read but what do YOU think?

There is no mention of Pi in the Wikipedia article...

This sounds pretty convincing and kind of makes sense, you might be on to something here.

Sorry to confuse you. The Wiki material was provided as background. All of the findings related to Pi are my original research. What do I think? There is no doubt that Elgar's enigma is Pi. There are at least ten FACTS which relate his music and his words to Pi. True, in some ways it is like "The Da Vinci Code" except that this is true and it is offered for free in the interest of exposing the answer to an 111 year old mystery.

A lot of it seems to be copied verbatim from one of the music journal articles that I have - "Elgar's Enigma", written by Dr. J.A. Westrup, first published in the April 1960 issue of the Royal Music Association's bi-annual journal. A copy of the article is available online through an archive (JSTOR), but you won't be able to access it unless you're a student or an employee at a pre-determined school in their database.

Alternatively, you can just copy and paste the first post into Google and most of the first result comes up in bold. Entire sentences, almost. But like I said, you won't be able to access the article if you click on the link.

What you posted is quite interesting though. I really don't know much about Elgar - he was not a topic of discussion in my music history class lectures. Of course I know the Pomp and Circumstance Marches (especially the one that is played at everyone's graduation), and I know that his wife ruled his manuscript paper for him

Thanks for reading my post. The background info of what Elgar wrote about the enigma is the only thing that is copied from Wiki. All of the research on the Pi solution is my original research. I think the evidence is overwhelming and I am continually surprised that so few people believe it is correct.

You are correct about the Pomp and Circumstance Marches and that his wife ruled his manuscript paper for him. He was quite an interesting man and I have enjoyed my three years of research on his enigma.

Oh okay. I mistunderstood then. Good work on your research. I probably won't have the chance to study Elgar in school as I've only got 2 years left. I've already taken the course that covered the period in which he was active. But I think my textbook has a good chunk of information on him.

Interesting stuff Nimrod.
How long have you been researching this and when did you come to that conclusion?
