Please ignore the factorial sign after 4 Anyway, I can't seem to think why this would be false? Can someone point out why it's wrong

Get a job that doesn't involve mathematics or logic! Maybe law or politics. You would fit right in!

Your third figure can tell you that the perimeter is not 4 but less as you have cut more length and added less.

Repeated as small as you want, there are still right angles instead of a curve. The diagonal distance across each step is √2 instead of one up plus one over.

Pi generally is 3.14 as an approximation, not 4.

The 'perimeter' circle will always be bigger than the original circle.
