Crop circle gone wrong

Looks like this team couldn’t agree on the design.

This one however is truely spectacular.

 

So spectacular that it has been described as follows:

“The most complex “mind-boggling” crop circle ever to be discovered in Britain has been found earlier this month in a barley field in Wiltshire with a perfectly coded representation of pi to the 10th significant figure for the first 10 digits, 3.141592654, baffling mathematicians.”

However as a letter writer to The Times explains when talking about the “life forces that created the formation”:

“We know that not only do they have a mathematical system with a number base of ten in common with most human inhabitants of this planet, but they also use the full stop to indicate the decimal point. Presumably this means they are not French.”

Thank you Mr Alan Joslin of Wiltshire.

Is it just me or is it too much of a coincidence that the crop circle was in Wiltshire and Mr Joslin comes from Wiltshire?
