Has the imperial system gone to far?

Assigning a value of 5 to pi, although ludicrous IRL, doesn't affect the problem. Plug the values into the equation and it will still give an answer that's correct in context.

Do cylinders even exist in metrics where pi = 5 ?

Technically no, because pi equals pi not 5. But you can approximate its value as 3 or 5 or whatever you want, knowing it's not exact and that your result will only be an approximation. I mean you could also ask how long light takes to reach us from Alpha Centauri if the speed of light is 1000 mph. It's not, but if you make that a condition of the problem you can do the calculation just fine.

Bye, bye, miss American PI.

I think that reason would make it "Technically Yes", since False (pi = 5) implies False (cylinders exist) is (vacuously) True ("absurd premise").

Maybe Vader some day later, but now it's just about prime.
