polymath, can you tell me if there is any issue with this answer?

If no issues, then this is generally the answer that satisfies my question. Even if pi was definitely a normal number, I still would've asked this question.

Answer is that with the usual Euclidean metric that is the number that one gets, the value of π is dependent on the geometry that is being used, so on a sphere the π used to obtain the area will be different.
Another question to ask is that if S=π(sub1)r^2 is the area of the circle and C=π(sub2)2r is the circumference why π(sub1)=π(sub2)=π ? What geometries or metrics will result in π(sub1)≠π(sub2) ?
