EP, why did you use a slide rule? Scientific Calculators were very common and cheap then, and a few of the programmable calculators cost about the same as an expensive text book.
Did you go to an Amish school?

“It was a conspiracy; I tell you … A real conspiracy! But they couldn’t take my slide rule away from me. No sir! I was smart – I hid it in my sock. Pretty sneaky, wasn’t it?”
ROFL!!
I have a slide rule, but I do not know how to use it.
Here's a start.
This is Classic Zegroes and Rosala with guest star Rose98 (a.k.a. “Rose not La”)

This is very funny. It features Zegroes, Miss Melody, Naus, and Sir CPhill.

I'll research and post more classics on this thread.
Top of the morning to you, Sir CPhill:
LancelotLink and Naus were both persuaded by Morgan Tud’s prophecy that you would indeed, one day, intercept Sisyphus’s bolder and extract the Roman Zero and display the precious Roman knowledge of nothing.

It now seems that this has come to pass.
Though I too never doubted, I stand in awe of your great feat and also of Morgan Tud’s prophecy, for it was never with levity that Morgan Tud conveyed to me the Roman Zero is, in fact, “A blank space.”
Very truly, I do wish the Troll Master be here to seeth this by his person.
By your leave, Sir CPhill

P.S. Now that you have the Roman Zero, you can complete your task of writing all the digits of Pi in Roman numerals.
