this is just a simple math question, i suppose, but i'm having a brain freeze. i am building a wheel of fortune from a bicycle wheel. i want to divide the wheel up in to equal pies but the spokes do not seem to be equally spaced. so, i am just going to use some poster board over the wheel spokes, cut a cirle from the poster board and divide that up in to pies. for some reason i am having trouble figuring out how to divide the wheel up in to equal pies so i can draw the lines properly. i don't want to have to buy some large compass or anything like that. any ideas? |

i suppose the number of slices doesn't really matter. i'm just trying to figure out an easy way to mark them off and make sure they are even. |

Giggle.... OK guys,.... Take a tape measure and wrap it around the wheel. Get as accurate of a measurement as you can muster. Divide that measurement by the number of "slices" you want. Now take a marker and mark off at every "that answer" distance. .. hey now that was not so hard, huh?

See....I would've taken a pizza and layed it on the wheel and drawn lines in between the slices, granted you only get 8 lines but you get the best damn tasteing wheel of fortune. No idiots here bud...someone is always here to help....Randy's the guy. Send us back a picture when you get a chance. I'll kindly pay you Tuesday..for a hamburger today....Whimpy |
