I was trying to answer the first problem in Solid Geometry, and I kept getting the answers wrong because of the god damned Pie sign. It doesn't make sense to put that there we don't write 28pi. We would write 87.9. And the way you put a dot to represent x is ok but still confusing. Maybe you should make a legend for your symbols.
