Does anyone have one handy ?

I have checked some of the manufacturer pages, but none seem to exist ! For example :

I think it was indeed Indiana, but it was pi = 3, and only applied to small circles ;-)

Hello Jim,

Wasn't there a law that, at least for the state of Indiana: ..PARAM PI = 4?

Snopes says the modern hoax is about Alabama but does mention (at the bottom) the bit about Indiana. They said it was passed in the Indiana House but died in the Senate.
